What did you do with your Z today

Vince's Red-Z

If you still have the work order, look at the milage when you got there and compare to what you have now. It seems like (possible) someone went for a joy ride. If you wonder if they changed your oil, look at your oil filter, it should be a new one (no road dirt etc) Also, check the dip stick, the oil should be clear and clean. Joy ride is my bet. I would be pissed! This is why I change my own oil.

No joy ride. I took it out of the bay. They have to go past the lobby to get outside anyways.

Red... I think your oil temp was just elevated because don't they usually start the car up and check for leaks/and/or levels?

It doesn't get that high from a short run. The guy admitted he didn't change it, got them to take care of it for me.

What does that mean? They didn't "change" it? change what? The oil? So they took care of it? huh? Sorry I'm confused.

He drove my car back to his bay, probably smoked a couple cigarettes, and then told them the car was ready. Apparently not the first time it has happened with him.

no way...i expect this from a jiffy lube, but the actual dealership? while they are named stealership for a reason, they usually do their job. sometimes its a terrible job...but they do it! i'd complain to corporate to be honest. our cars have a 3750 mile change interval, and going 7k on whatever fill they give you can definitely lead to some issues down the line. imagine if you got that tech 3 times in a row, or if we didnt have an oil temp guage. no one would ever know

I installed a Escort Radar detector. Hard wiring was smooth. Now I know where all the hiding cops are. One this morning thought he was smooth, I knew of him several blocks away...
