Always change it myself after the one time I took it in during the winter.  The idiot went crazy w/ his airgun and my oilpan has leaked at the plug ever since.  Extremely slow leak, but it's still annoying.  As others have mentioned, the numbnuts that populate most of the cheap oil change outfits can't even do it right.  As far as synthetic, check out Amsoil.
only a fucking retard would use an airgun on a sump plug, dont go back to that mechanic

just buy a new sump plug and washer (unless the sump itself is damaged) if you have a toyota, go to your toyota dealership and get one, i wouldnt go anywhere else, they will definitely have the right ones

someone above mentioned it takes about an hour to do? i dont know what theyre smoking, should take 20 mins max, can do it in 5 at work, but its easier on a hoist
