i've had all my oil changes done at the stealership... living in an army barracks limits where i can perform a do-it-myself oil change on base. i just pay for the $20 service. mostly the reminder sticker they place on the windshield says penzoil. never bothered to specify which oil to change to.

rolled 21k miles, scheduled a change for tomorrow.

It there anything that would prevent them from using your oil and filter preference if you were to supply it?

I use Castrol GTX. Been using it for a long time. When I had to tear apart my motors for whatever reason, they were always clean as a whistle inside.

I run AMSOIL in my truck. All they make is full synthetic oils, and they were the first ones to make synthetics. Seeing that I only have to change it every 12,000 miles, I couldnt be happier. Could change it only every 25k, but you still have to change the filters every 12,500 miles. With my truck getting up there in miles, I feel better changing the oil out every 12k, and pouring in some fresh oil.

Decided to become a dealer after using it in both my vehicles and my two snowmobiles. I wish I could say I make a ton of money doing it, but I have made most of my family and friends believers as well. AMSOIL products will always have my highest recommendations.
