$20 is nothing, especially in the dealer!

which OIL / Filter did you get?

is it suggested to keep using the same oil all the time?

Thanks,

I'm been doing Redline 5w30 and a K&N filter. They don't seem to care.

cool, is there a local shop you get your OIL from?

spinhead · 12-09-2010, 03:31 PM

Amazon. I buy 12 quart packs so it's a bit cheaper.

Hm price seems to have gone up on Amazon since the last time I bought. Good call though.

thanks, is 5 and 1/8 quarts the right amount? I am trying to figure out if I should get 6 quarts or 5...

Thanks,
Jay

$20 sounds cheap to me. $12 sounds like someone gave somebody a reach-around. ;-)

I do mine in my garage... And I know it gets done right...

Has anyone every taken their car to Valvoline ? Do they change the oil in a Z ?
