Stay out of those quickie oil changers. I think there is a horror story floating around about Jiffy lube.

these $5.00 an hour lube jocky`s could car less about your car.

Change the oil your self, not a big deal to do. I use a large 12 qt plastic drain pan, then dump it into a 2 1/2 gallon jug and take it to a recycling place. some auto supply`s take it or as here our dump.

I use Mann filters, and they come with a new copper washer and rubber O-ring for the filter lid.

Do not over tighten the 2 nuts on the filter lid.

Use a good quality synthetic oil since you live in the deep freeze will help.

DIY, or they will DITY (do it to you)

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
