Exclamation Opinion NEEDED, 15000 oil change is due

As the title said, the 15000 oil change is due for my G. Should I take my G to the dealer again or try to DIY with synthetic motor oil. I read some posts about people taking their car to Function Tune for oil change. Is it worth while for me or just for TT engine? Thank first for your opinion!

Best thing is always do it yourself(as long as you know what youre doing) because you get the satisfaction and you know what the problem is IF there is a problem.

Plus you save money, and stealerships suck. Function:Tuned FTW!
