I have begun changing my own oil to be sure I was getting mobil 1 in my dts.
pulled it up on the ramps to drain and found 1 trans pan bolt missing and the others only finger tight, the bolts holding the bracket from the trans to the block backed out 1/2 inch ,this car has been into the dealer 8 tomes for service (oil & filter change) I think I have depended on the dealer to much should have looked for myself.
how is yours ?

Yikes! I'd recommend taking it back to your Dealer immediately and asking for all the bolts underneath the car to be torqued to spec. Sloppy workmanship on someone's part....

Thanks Tony.
My expectations are so low on dealer service that I am not disappointed.
Just a heads-up to other owners may prevent a problem for them.
