I use these places for oil changes, but my automatic response when they try to upsell me is “thanks - I’ll replace it myself”.

I used to go to these quick oil change places all the time. I've never had them tell me there was something wrong with my car. They did frequently try to get me to replace the oil filter.

My dealership will do an oil change for nearly the same price, so I go there now.

If you DON’T change the filter every time you change the oil, there’s little point in changing the oil, as the filter holds all the crap that the oil has picked up during its use, and you’re basically just holding a quart of FILTHY oil in the system, negating the clean oil you just bought.

It’s like keeping 1/4 of last night’s dishwater to wash tonight’s dishes.
