What he said! I to would never let a quicky oil change place near my car to much time and $$$$$$$$$$$$$ invested for them to screw up. Not worth the hassle.

I remember once when I was 15 and had my first 944 I took her to the local oil place and they installed the wrong oil!!!!!!!! Then charged me to change it to what I wanted in the first place(mobil 1) bastards. Ever since then I have perry do it or I myself do it. Only way to make sure it's done correctly.

Hey now we all know someone who changed oil or tires at a younger age. Having been one of those grease monkies I know for a fact that 99% of the pople dont give a **** about your car. The best thing to do is get to know one mechanic that will change your oil that you can trust. Another thing is to tip the monkey after you figure out which one is the best.
I watched a monkey laugh at revving a turbo diesel with a 2 qt empty oil filter on start up because the boss didnt want you to pre fill the filters. But I watched the same person who was laughing lovingly care for a 3000GT VR4 because the owner brought it in every two months and tipped him $5.
