I left the dealership as soon as my 36months passed ... I have NO sludge, I change my oil myself, use 5W30 Full Synthetic LiquiMoly or Repsol[depends on availability], but, use OEM oil filter, clean the PCV valve on each change.

It is not that difficult to do, unless you live in an apartment building, then yes, you must go elsewhere.

Go to a shop you like the vibe, create a rapor with the staff, and your car will be taken care as if you did it yourself!
