I use 5 min oil change. Don’t give af what the price is because I don’t feel like doing it




I'm pretty certain 5min on Essen and the 10 min joint on Perkins@bluebonnet Both have Mobil 1 Synthetic available.

It's about $79 for that oil change. Not bad considering price of that in the store. about $25 just for the oil. so you pay $50 extra to not have to get out your car and get a free coke/water while you wait 10 minutes. And that oil goes 10k miles easily.

For years I went to Jiffy Lube. Full synthetic Mobil 1 with filter was $80.

I finally decided frick this shite.

I can get 5 quarts of AmazonBasics Full Synthetic that performs just as well as Mobil 1 for $22, and a Premium Guard filter for $10. and do it myself in less time than waiting for JL to do it.

Plus I don't have to deal with the kid trying to upsell me on a overpriced cabin air filter and new wiper blades every damn time.

Last time I went in I had JUST put new wipers on and the kid STILL tried to sell me new ones.

There's a good youtube video out there comparing the amazon synthetic oil to mobil 1. Check it out.

If you're going synthetic ... go with AMSOIL .... and as far as the place you use ... just don't the the one the Mascona is always advertising. Long story on what they did on an oil change on my truck.

My mechanic picks up my vehicles, services them, and drops them off. He's a sweetie, he knows I live alone.

I always bake him some banana bread when he's coming by.

Valvoline. I just sit in my car and watch that well oiled pit crew go to work.
