People underestimate what oil changes do for your engine if you want your car to last.
oh and if you want to waste time doing your oil changes for $20 go right ahead. My time is worth more than that. Plus what are you going to do with old oil. You better not just be dumping man. I'd like my kids to be able to enjoy this place too.  |
I have never seen anyone do research then switch to Quaker State. It also has or had a lot of wax. As for myself and all my mechanic friends it is Havoline or Valvoline for dino oil or Synthetic. I do not love my car enough for synthetic. I put on a ton of highway miles and the cost is just too high. I have never had an oil related problem with Havoline or Valvoline and 7k-10k between changes. Back in the 80's I did have a car full of Quaker State die because the oil was all in the valve covers causing me to loose presure and the thing had flakes of wax all through the engine. That is when I did my research. Perhaps something has changed in the 15+ years since, I hope so.
