1 Year, 10,000 Miles All Is Good

I do my own changes because the dealership charges stupid money for full synthetic oil. Buying my own oil it's about $15 more for full synthetic but the dealer charges double. "The works" oil change is $39.95 plus tax for syn blend. It's $85 for full synthetic with 6 quarts.

I used the ford quick change for my cars before. They weren't turbo charged so the synthetic blend was fine. They generally did ok. I didn't always check my oil level after using them figuring they used those fill hoses with the set amount dispensers. Once I did check for some reason an they short filled me a full quart on a 5 quart change.

Stopping there for an oil change did cost me $30K once....I had my fusion in for an oil change an ended up driving home a new ranger.

I had a similar thing happen with my first Ranger, a '99. Someone ran a stop sign and t-boned me in the driver's door and it was in the dealer's body shop. I went in to check on the progress, sign out front said $3500 rebate on Rangers, and I came home with a new '02 that day. With the rebate thrown in the monthly payment was less than $10 more.

True. I’m a funeral director and I don’t fiddle around with dead folks when I get home.

That sure is good to know, JohnnyO

Well, this came in the mail today. I guess because they didn’t charge me and sent me on my way, they forgot to give me the invoice.

Whew, THAT is good to know!

Truth is I don't mess with dead folks much at work either. I'm the manager of a coporate-owned place and mostly do paperwork these days. I can embalm and lay someone out if I have to though.
