So I completed my oil change at Wal Mart using Mobil 1 Synthetic Etxended Performance and.............. everything went fine, just as usual. For $48 dollars including the tax, my oil was changed-and-fluids checked...air pressure and filters and all...and they vacummed and cleaned my car. Got to love that service for the money!
Its worth it... plus you have record that it was done (this is very important actually the most important).
We just had a guy come in, blown motor (only 20k miles)... Said he did the oil changes. So those of you that do it yourself? Even if its WM that is doing it, its still getting done and there is a paper trail. What that means is there is no proof (if you do it yourself) so its not covered under warranty!
i keep all my receipts for oil filters and the oil. theres my proof.
That just shows that you bought them...?
Who knows if it was done or not (correctly and or incorrectly). I guess they could say that it wasnt done by a certified shop too...
Like many older, (pre-50's) cars, the filter is like an air filter, where it drops into a canister that mounts to the engine. You can do a conversion to screw-ons.
