Should I oil change at dealership or third party shop?

[Mk7GolfDisease]

What was wrong with just getting the o-rings from the link you posted?

because the plugs is what the dealer would change every time for 9.50 and whats O-rings?

The o-ring is just the gasket that goes on the drain plug. You posted the link you should know. I wouldn't order those drain plugs from Amazon because the o-rings will likely be dried out by the time you use them and they could leak. You're going through a lot of hassle to save about $15 per year.

At what I charge my clients an hour for my time vs. my time reading this over the last day, I may just buy the OP an extractor, the other few tools you need and a complimentary Liquimoly change kit from FCP to get the free for life ball rolling and you can all thank me with a Christmas card and I'll figure out how to write this off as a business expense.

It's ok to laugh sometimes man, this is a pretty funny...9 pages for an oil change and at least a dozen posts about a $2 drain plug. I think it is we that are being trolled!

Um, moderators....?

Yes, you need something that looks nice for the oil change guy every 5k miles.

Troll - nobody could be this stupid.

There aren't that many women in car forums and (as a general rule), they either ask very basic questions, thank you for an answer and go back to lurking or they are very knowledgeable (from lurking and doing).

This one is acting like a 14 year old teenage boy troll. Don't feed the troll.

This ^^
