I'm enjoying the show. Very lively.

It was actually an appropriate song considering Mannings turnovers.

Ya really. I'm no sports guy. Just happy the broncos are getting spanked.

Mobil 1 syn FTW.

If you switch to Mobil 1 extended performance synthetic oils and filter you can stretch that to 15k miles per change.

Only 6k on a car he plans to swap in 2 years, not worth it.

If you want sticker shock, Dave, my 2011 4-cyl 4wd Tacoma uses six quarts of synthetic.

Good thing I get coupons from the dealer!

You guys don't know how to change your own oil? Lots of money you guys spending at dealerships/quicklubes.

I live in a condo complex which does not allow us to work on our cars on property.

I do all kinds of work on my trucks, but if I can get some free maintenance, at dealer I'll take it.

I do all the work myself. I love working on the head.

I can't change my oil for less than the oil change places. 5 quarts plus a filter costs about a dollar more retail than the oil change place around the corner.

It normally cost about 30 bucks on average (with filter) for a place to do the change but keep in mind they are user the cheapest products. I can do my own change using synthetic and a OEM filter for the same price. Takes me less than 10 mins.

I wouldn't recommend that until it is out of the warrantee period.
Not changing the oil at the scheduled intervals could void the manufactures warrantee.

Valid point. Taking that into account I'd basic oil change that car till I traded it in.

Right there with you. My GT takes 6 qt. using Mobil 1 oil and filter that's $75 bucks if I didn't watch for sales. Managed to catch the last one at autozone for $46 by the time I was done.

I use Amsoil brand motor oil and filter that is rated for 25,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first.
Expensive, but the best synthetic oil on the market.

Set up a visit at the daughters and have what's his name change it for you to stay on your good side.

I like it that my dealership said...."see you at 10,000 miles". That took me almost 8 years to get to 10,000 miles.
We did Jiffy Lube a couple of times in that 10 years.

I've heard good things about amsoil. Do you send out an oil sample for analysis?

I have to disagree. When I know I'm keeping a car long term I'll always put the best I can in it. As long as what's used meets or exceeds the manufacturer guidelines it against the Magnuson act to deny warranty. Always save your receipts of course.
