    If you're paying $60 for an oil change, just go to the dealership

    I do my own and it still costs double.

    7.5L of 10w60 Castrol TWS or Amsoil 5w50 + Mahle filter = $120 Wholesale.

    9L of 5w40 Castrol or Euroblend Amsoil 5w40 + Mahle filter = $110 Wholesale.

    That's just parts. Sounds like you guys drive turds. @Dennis_DeYoung in the Mas gets it....maybe the @thechatch as well.



    What do you do when you come to speed bump or drive way that has a bit of a dip?

    Are you my dad

    I might be old enough but I can clean out my computer too. It's just a personal thing. I don't trust most oil change places. Lot's of crooks and untrained morons.

    Remember, Dad's always right!

    Do it yourself. Amsoil once every 24 months, 36 months for a diesel. High capacity filter. Lucas Synthetic Stabilizer.

    One F&M washable filter. It amounts to like $50 a year and you never have to worry. You will find Jimmy Hoffa before your engine ever leaks.

    WTF is an F & M filter?


    Is it from Sweden?

    You're just angry I won't let you work on my car. I certainly wouldn't go to the Jiffy lube you work at. Does the ankle GPS monitor get caught on stuff much?

    My favorite is when I call and schedule an appointment in advance, show up on time, leave my car there for an hour while I walk to a restaurant to have breakfast, and then come back to see that they haven't even touched my car yet.

    Whoa. I was employee of the month. Twice. Until they took that one away when I guided a car straight into the pit. But I still have the other one. HOF shit.

    Funny I did have an oil change done on the wife's car at a Mobil 1 place. She was driving on the freeway and the skid plate dropped onto the pavement. Two front bolts fell out. They didn't tighten them. That was the first outside service in 25 years and they fucked it up!

    Thanks buddy. Your car will never work right again, but I'll buy you a beer afterwards.

    You're supposed to go get drinks and then come back and ask them if it's cool if you can just leave it overnight and pick it up in the morning.

    But what do I know. I just got back and my power was shut off and it's 95 degrees in my place.

    An email or phone call wouldve been nice. Gotta get that sweet 30 dollar service charge I guess. Fuckers.

    Back in high school I had a job washing cars and mopping floors at a local BMW/MBZ/Volvo service shop. On the weekends I would go there for 4-5 hours by myself, remove all the cars from the building (or raise them if they were on lifts), and give the place a thorough mopping. One Monday I went in after school to check in, and my boss sternly asked me if I had anything to tell him. I said no, and he told me that I had bent a MBZ 450SEL grill by raising a car on a Benwil lift that the mechanic had unhinged the hood and had placed it vertically. I guess when I lifted the car, the vertical hood had hit the ceiling rafters and bent the grill slightly so that when the mechanic tried to close the hood, the grill hit wrong (easy fix, just bending the grill back into place). I protested that if I had known that I had done it, I certainly would have told my boss about it, but I had turned off the lift right as it impacted so I didn't realize it had hit anything. Boss decided to belive me, gave me a short lecture on paying attention when handling other people's expensive cars, we have a reputation to uphold yada yada. As one would expect, the mechanics gave me shit about it.

    For exactly one week. For the following week, a senior mechanic working in the same stall, with the same Benwil lift, unhinged a MBZ hood and put it vertical, then lifted the car up. Hood crashed into the rafter beam, driving the corners of the hood down into the body and puncturing the fenders on both sides. Major body/paint work required. Never heard about my little grill incident again.

    All this car talk has me hungering for some lube.
