Oil change and filter is bread and butter DIY work, no need to let the shysters charge you for doing it...
I am actually starting to think that if I did go for another 2nd hand car at some stage, I would prefer to see records from someone buying the bits etc, rather than just having a stamped book from a dealer/indy.
