Are you going to let them change your oil? Why not DIY ? it's easy, fast and not messy. You don't even need a jack to lift the car. Just put one front wheel up on a curb
But if it's not your thing bring the oil you want to the dealer, they should not have any problems.

I tried it once after I had changed out the suspension and took forever. I have a 2.5 ton jack but its too high to fit under the car, I have to use the jack from the car, which takes a few mintues to take out because I have my sub box screwed into the car to keep it from sliding. I also get a little nervous being under the car when it's jacked up becasue it is so low. So I have the dealer do it, I do change the oil on my Toyota Truck. Don't have to jack the truck up.
