It might depend on the dealer--or the shop.
As I discovered at a Nissan dealer, "recommended" can include some pricey oils, and you could still end up with a "plain vanilla" filter (generic) installed instead of factory.
I'd lean underneath, and check for the brand name or filter color after an oil change.
At Sal's in Wolfeboro, I specify
Mobil 1 and the most-improved filter obtainable--even after accumulating 190,000 trouble-free miles.
Oh yes, to bring this back to paint...your painter can speed through painting the walls using a roller, but trim requires artistry. If you were to do this yourself, you'd understand.
Painting baseboard and ceiling "trim" often involves moving hanging-lamps and heavy furniture. In this case, twice. (But I sympathize
if you were snookered).
