I'm not jumping in because I like moderator abuse so leave me alone....LMAO!I take my Rodeo to the Valvoline place to have my oil changed every 3 months or 3,000 miles.I have never had a problem or not yet at least...lol.When they change it I stand there talking to the manager because we now know each other pretty well and likes all the mud caked on the bottom of my hood.He shows me the filter they take off to make sure the old gasket is still there.He also shows me my oil level twice once before start up and after start up.I can actually change my oil myself but WHY?It costs me $10 less but now I have to drive up to the same Valvoline place to have them dispose of the oil and filter.Seems if I'm going there anyway might as well let them do it.If something were to happen to my motor say 2 months down the road I probably won't blame them.If it happens the next morning then I will throw a fit and get my new motor.If you don't check your oil and your motor blows 2 1/2 months later how is it his fault.Basically I now trust these guys because(believe it or not)the same 3 guys work on my Rodeo every time I come in.They know me and my truck and I would think if my motor blew the next day it wouldn't be hard to have them replace it as I have never have had a problem.
I know I drug this out the wrong way but basically it boils down to the shop is NOT at fault due to lack of responsibility on the owner.
As far as Michael being pompus and rude and blunt and everything else that he got called....He is.That is the way I personally like it.If you want to play with the adults then expect it and if you want to be treated all warm and fuzzy go to giga pets.com.It is the Internet and words don't hurt.As far as you know you may never meet anyone on this board EVER so just look at it as a carbon coby computer generated response. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/bird.gif" alt="" />
