First oil change questions
Ok, it's time to take my 8 in for it's first oil change and I have a few questions.
Should I take it to a dealer or an oil change store?
What am I going to have to watch out for when whoever changes my oil? (IE, what are they going to messup and I'm going to have to call them on?)
Thanks!

If you don't do it yourself - then take it to someone that had done it before, like the dealer. This will help to ensure that:
1) they can get the original filter off without damaging anything (because the factory seems to put them on tight, or at least the originals get 'stuck' because they may have been on a long time).
2) they don't overfill.
3) they properly cleanup the oil that spills on the top of the engine when they remove the filter (something the minimum wage guys at the oil change shop probably wouldn't take the time to do).
Of course, not matter where you take it - be sure to check these things before you drive off!
