That is pretty much my attitude, except it is more "Why should I pay someone else to mess up my car?!" I have had friends harass me over it, but I have had plenty of bad experiences at different shops.

Seriously, oil (even the expensive 0W20 synthetic for the Insight) & filter runs maybe $20 every 7500 miles...

I will purchase oil and filter from whoever has the best deal on it and then see somewhere offering to change it for little more. I know that they are going to tell me that things are wrong and want me to pay extra for platinum sparkles in my oil or whatever, but how much does an oil change actually cost, compared to the advertised price?
I just wish that I would purchase a car closer to having the timing belt replaced than me needing to have it done.
