Sold.

I just started changing my oil the last two times.

1) It's about as easy a oil change there is on the Titan.
2) I now trust ZERO oil change shops, especially the $20-40 ones. I have had too many of these places try and screw me over with putting maybe 4-5 qts when it needs seven. Last time Meineke (sp?) told me I needed like 2k in extra work done They said I needed front and rear differential fluids changes, new pads and calipers, and something else I forget. I end up changing my front/rear differential fluids and they were perfectly fine, but no biggie,that never hurts. Then I buy pads and calipers and break it down and get to em and the pads have more thread on the, than the new pads. I was pretty pissed, but feel bad for people that places like that are in business and screwing people over everyday I'm sure.

Another reason is if you want to run a few OCI's of synthetic to do an engine flush. I've had a couple of older cars that I ran a batch of Pennzoil Ultra through and it really cleans out the varnish after about 15k miles or so.
