Need to obtain filters and oil from freebies?

How would you go about obtaining the 3 filters and 12 quarts of oil from your free oil changes? I do my own service and could use the filters. I could use the oil in my other vehicles due to the fact I use Mobil 1 in the Scion. Any suggestions???

I don't think that would work because most dealers these days get their oil from a gun like they have at Jiffy Lube.

They do as well, majoritively speaking they have basically a big vat of oil, but in back usually (speakin from working at Ford) we have oil in the back of the parts department as well.

The way I see it. I get my free stuff and the dealer gets paid for the (oil change) labor from Toyota for doing nothing but writing up a service order.
