Yep, probably guilty to some extent here as well...

I can't drink beer, so the DUI part doesn't apply and I don't change the oil when the engine is blisteringly hot, lol. It doesn't make sense as to why one would want to play with scalding hot engine oil instead of relax for a few hours while it cools off as you watch TV.

I don't trust lube shops... too much is at stake.

I don't trust lube shops because every time I see that "Jiffylube" sticker on the window, I normally see a bright orange oil filter that says "FRAM" on it in the engine bay...

My dad's 5M powered MkI ran to 485,000 using only Fram filters and Valvoline dino juice, don't know where all the bad rap comes from...

:rofl: aint that the truth...I love it!

Except for the fact that i only buy 6 quarts of Penzoil platium (have to take into account the amount of oil my car consumes between oil changes, unlike MOST women) and a Wix filter for something around $45. And, I only drive around my neighborhood where cops wont be so I don't normally get a DUI.

I Lol'd
but some of my friends that work in lube shops always
talk about how their bosses tell them to "suggest" extra repairs
and up sale all the time I'd rather be the 20 year old under my own car
drinking and cutting my self up then have some punk 18 year old that failed auto tech 11
telling me I need
"fuel system cleaning, engine flush, and a variety of preventative care and performance additives"
lol
