Had the dealership do the first oil change along with my initial service and some other fixes. For several reasons I've decided not to take my car back to the dealership unless there is a significant warranty problem.
Here is one more surprise that reinforces my decision to avoid the dealer. When I got under there to change the oil, the attached is what I found.
Filter was barely past finger tight (i.e. two fingers and almost no effort required to remove it). Luckily the leak wasn't very fast and only about 150% of normal oil loss, so no harm done other than the oily mess down there collecting dirt.
Serves as a good reminder to check on things often...
