Nope. It's accurate. I used to change it myself but no more. I live away from LA now and in a condo.

I take it to my hunting and camp. If you're talking about purposely trying to get it muddy and shite...no I don't do all that. I've had a lot of problems with it lately that has cost me a ton of money.

I assume you mean quarts. My LS3 takes 8 quarts of full synthetic with a special oil filter and I pay about $115.

Your deal was a fair one.

Mobil 1 is about $25 per gallon off the shelf at the wal marks, so you really should be looking at more like a couple of hundred bucks if all of that is correct....

must be changing oil in an 18 wheeler or something like that to use 9 gallons of oil, though...

I like doing it myself because I can inspect the wheel suspension and the drivetrain and look for anything wrong with the undercarriage. I also rotate the tires myself and generally top the fluids off and change the cabin filter.

I do all this every 10,000 miles.
