The dealer where I bought it is one hour away and they did the first oil change. They're a bunch of good-ole-boys that really know trucks and have some pride in their workmanship No issues there. I've done every subsequent change and torqued to 20-25 ft/lbs with no issues. I wouldn't trust the trained monkeys at my local dealer (2 miles from my house) to do anything more than sell me replacement drain gaskets.

The dealer stripped the first thread by leaving the washer off. They gave me a free drain plug and two washers for the next oil change that worked fine. I will be changing the oil this weekend and going to install Fumoto drain valve so no drain valve will need to be removed again.
