So I'm getting ready for my 1st oil change and since the regular oils now are a lot better than back in the day I wonder if I should go ahead and do the $19 vs doing it myself with synthetic ...I know this topic has been beaten to death but I wonder if going their route is just as well since i wonder what has happened to all my previous rides that I took so much care in putting the best fluids.....i know some ppl even run regular gas ...opinions please .just opinions
Be prepared for a million different opinions - here's mine.

For only $19, as long as that also includes the filter, you'll be fine. They key is to do it regularly at the allowed 5k mile intervals. Europeans laugh at Americans for being brain washed into 3,000k mile oil changes. We love to baby our cars, me included, and oil changes are an easy way to do it.

Now I'm a Mobil 1 guy, but $19 for a full non-synthetic oil change for life would work for me.

Good luck!
