around here they advertise $19.99 er something. Probably ends up about $25 after tax & waste disposal. You can usually get it done for that much at the dealer.

your mom trusts her cars only means of stopping to you but wont trust a simple oil change in your hands? lol

back in oregon they'd always advertise a 19.99 oil change, i just do it myself, i like knowing it was done right with products i trust

^ the trick is to get a hugh pan from the start, which I need. I have this crappy ass small drain pan that gets the job done, but sucks ass.

o yeah, a women will probably let it go till 4k-5k.
---- all jiffy lubes, etc. . You can buy syn oil and "performance filter" for that price. If you get deal, like it's 10-20 bux there using some cheap/shitty ass oil and filter. I don't trust those fuckers either.

Whitey said women loosen drain plugs by hitting it with their purse.

I never take any of my cars to oil changing places. First off all of them around here use shitty Penzoil filters and oil, and second they do a shitty job of replacing them. My brother took his truck there one time and when he decided to do it himself the next time he needed a huge breaker bar to get the drain plug out and had to ruin the filter just to get it off...only after struggling with it for 20 mins.

I've also had friends go in for tranny fluid changes and then the place tells them that they can't change the fluid since the plug is rounded off...wonder how that happened.

I always change mine with mobil 1 synthetic and a name brand filter like STP for a little bit more peace of mind and so that I don't have to worry about it if I go a few miles over before I change it again.
