That said, dealers saying things such as what was said to you reinforces my utter lack of faith, on average, of dealer competency. As I've said here before, and I know I'm probably the exception to the demographic of those who would buy this car, I've raced, rebuilt, and worked on engines since I was very young. My grandfather worked for an oil filter company for >35yrs, and taught me all about oils and flow at a young age. This is precisely why the dealer does not get near my car unless I am forced for warranty sake, etc. I'll do three oil and filter changes for each one of theirs. Overkill? Most certainly. It makes me happy, and it is always done right.
Nice...i like it...so where do i get the mobil 1 0w-40?
