You don't have to take your vehicle to the dealership for oil changes; you just have to get them done regularly.
Having said that, I have seen just as many (if not more) improperly tightened oil filters and stripped drain plugs from the high school kids at Mr.Lube as from a dealership. Pricewise, I think my Ford dealer charges us a whole $4 more for an oil change than Mr.Lube...
