Troubleshooter: Grab a six-pack of oil filters when you buy a new car — via drivingdotca Maintenance
, dealer staff makes sure all the I’s are dotted and the T’s are crossed. They will review maintenance records to ensure recommended schedules have been followed and those service receipts need to contain the vehicle ID number, as well as date and mileage and a detailed description of what was performed and what parts and fluids were used. As jurisdictions across the country have consumer legislation requiring this of all auto repair facilities, this isn’t much of a problem.
One simple and easy solution is to pick up a few oil filters from the dealership when you get your new ride. Ask nicely and they may even throw in a case at no extra charge. Keep them in the trunk or home garage and when you pull into your neighbourhood oil changer, ask them to use the factory filter and to record its use on their receipt. Keep the original proof of purchase of the filters with your maintenance records and avoid the headaches.
