25$ is pretty good for having someone else cut the runners off and polish/slightly bore the injector ports. it'll save you time so you can be doing one of the other repairs that the truck needs.

62$ is pretty steep for an oil change. i get a 5 quart jug of quaker state horsepower (synthetic) and a mopar filter for 25$ at walmart.

God, $15 for an oil filter? Napa Golds are just as good quality and are only $6.

....Oh yeah, I remember when I used to pay $60-$70 an oil change, then I joined BITOG Forums. I now spend $26....

Was it sponsored by Mobil 1 because that sounds kind of bias. I honestly would love for someone to explain why Mobil 1 is better then the rest...and where are you getting your mobil 1 filters from?! There $7 at walmart.

the wal-mart in my area does not carry them. (which is odd since i live in a big name city)

And the Mobil 1 class, they had visual demonstations with other synthetic oils, and then the Mobil 1. They used it on this little motor that would spin a dowel. then they would put weight on it, the other synthetics oils would make the dowel "seize" up after about 2-4 weights were put on (Penzoil, Castrol, Kendall, and Quaker State.) Then when the Mobil 1 was demonstated it was able to handle 6 of the weights, and was still going. the 7th made it "seize"

I guess that demonstates the "Under Load" and how it helps. There were other demonstations, but im not going to explain all of them...unless your interested

I think he's sponsored by Lucas too! The Mobil1 is one thing, but geez with the Lucas hype already.

That "demonstration" sounds exactly like the slick 50 infomercial that was always on back in the 90's. Is that all your basing mobil 1's quality on? What else did they tell you?
