Interesting indeed,

If you are having the dealer do tyhe oil service on it, shouldn't they be
spotting it, noting it, and trying to seel me the replacement part? This is
what really burns me. I'm not a gearhead, so i'm not up under my cars on a
monthly basis. I pay good money for their service work. I do it because I
expect a level of service. Maybe Glenn, you provide that level, but my
local sure didn't.
