Default Stupid Oil Change Weenies....

Since I can't change my own oil in the "upscale" neighborhood I live in for the time being, I had to go to a local shop to get it done today in preparation for the move to Colorado. I stopped by a place that I had been to once before with no problems.

My first warning sign was when the "meet and greet" person came out smoking a big cigar. Then, their computer had my car listed as a Dodge Dakota. As one of the "techs" is filling the car with oil, he asks me what the OCC was for. I explained the purpose (I have to do it everytime someone looks at the engine) and he said, "Well that won't work, because the boost will blow it all off." Never mind the fact I've had it on the car for over 4 years.

He went on to tell me that my car puts out 8 pounds of boost and that was enough to blow the OCC hoses off (I just smiled). He also went on to say that the SRT-4 was the best car Dodge ever made and that the reason he wouldn't buy one was that aftermarket parts were all made by Jap companies and didn't fit the car right. (More smiling)

One good thing about moving to Colorado.....I can change my own oil!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!! all that and no comments with the hood and fender flames?? Amazing!

Oil changes are the ONLY thing I dont do myself, so I do watch them like a hawk!!!

They are good people though and allow me to watch and they know me and my car well!

I feel for ya though, I have been there in the past many a time....
