That's mainly because they sent me 3 coupons that said: 12.95 Oil change (no fees, only tax), AND, your next oil change is free if it takes longer than 29 minutes. So, knowing that Saturday afternoon is the primo time for every other single person in Georgia to get their poor wittle car in, I drag my Camry to the dealer, and start the clock. 29 minutes comes and goes very quickly, and they finally alert me my car is done at the 1:30 mark. That's fine with me though. Next time, I'll know they have free wi-fi, coffee, popcorn, and big leather couches. Total cost of oil change each: $6.86, for the next 6 oil changes for deh car, assuming I can keep getting them to take 30+ minutes.

If I think it is an excellent deal then I might buy it, even if I didn't have it on the list of what I need. I can always store it away for future use.
