Oil Change In Less Time Higher Mileage?

ShutokuZ · 05-01-2013, 01:11 PM

My dealer calls me every 3 months to try and scedule for an oil change. I just crept over 3k, so no need yet for my second change (did the first after break-in). I will get it done every 3-4k with Ester oil, as I was able to get them to include it free with my maint gold package. So, I don't pay for any oil change

When they agreed to do the Ester oil free, I was thinking they might just fill up with their crap in a barrel and say it was Ester, so I said I would get my own and get them to reimburse me. They agreed!

Check your local Walmart for special pricing on the Pennzoil 05W-30 Ultra. 5 qt. jugs are around $25.00 Buy three of them. That will get you through 2 oil changes at 5.25 qts. each (5.5 qts if you run an oversize filter) per change and give you a few extra quarts for top off. Run it for 5000 miles, it's outstanding oil at that price. Buy good filters like the Mobil 1, or Purolator Pure 1 or Bosch. You can do a change yourself for about $35-40 worth of materials and know it was done right.
