Re: Oil filter/Quickie oil changes

["Bill Kolofa" <billk@ecg.csg.mot.com>]

In defense of SOME quickie oil change places, they can be good or they can be
bad. It's all people dependent. I've had one tell me about a torn CV joint
boot. Something I'd have not known until it was "complaining loudly". I always
ask for and get Mobil 1 so they don't use their cheaper bulk oil, although it
appears to be Valvoline. Their filter is suspect because it is typically a "no
name" filter. On another incident, they forgot to tighten the oil filter. When
I got home, I got a call from them telling me not to drive the car. They came
over and tightened the filter and topped off the oil. There was just a few
drips of oil coming from the filter before it was tightened. It could have been
a lot worse.
