i just wanted an oil change,but he charged me to change some sort of fucking filter what the fuck? do they do that a lot?

9/9/2005 4:48:45 PM

yes

9/9/2005 4:50:25 PM

oil filter? should do that once every one or two oil changes or so.

9/9/2005 4:53:29 PM

yeah the oil filter. they have tried to replace that shit like 5 times now, and i just want a damn oil chance

9/9/2005 4:59:25 PM

are you serious, or is this some lame joke?

9/9/2005 5:01:15 PM

i was alwasy told that when they try to give you shit you don't ask for it's a scam, especially at jiffy lube

9/9/2005 5:01:53 PM

gotta be a fucking joke...

9/9/2005 5:03:38 PM

watch out for the 710 cap

9/9/2005 5:08:09 PM

what in the fuck?

9/9/2005 5:52:51 PM

i dont even know what the fuck to say to this thread

9/9/2005 6:12:07 PM

ahahahhahhhaa

9/9/2005 6:14:09 PM

you change the filter with every oil change.

9/9/2005 6:22:08 PM

filters will last two oil changes, esp. to the fuckers that insist on changing every 3K miles or whatever ridiculously low number they're still using from the 70's.

i go more like 7-10K tho so i change it everytime, and it should be included in any "oil change" in my opinion, but i've never been to jibby lube

he failed

9/9/2005 6:45:55 PM

^^Why don't you just change the filter every 3-4 k miles? It only costs like 3 bucks.

9/9/2005 7:21:50 PM

I actually change my filter more often than my oil

9/9/2005 7:24:46 PM

if ever a thread needed lockage

9/9/2005 7:25:02 PM

the filter needs to be change more often than the oil

the K&N filters I use are quite a bit more than 3 bucks....if I changed my oil every 3-4k miles I would consider it, but there is no reason to so I don't change either that often

9/9/2005 8:33:51 PM

I change my oil and filter every 3k because the turbo tends to cook it bad.

9/9/2005 9:02:18 PM

I just use a synthetic.

9/9/2005 9:27:40 PM

And you should just have them run your old oil through a pair of your mom's pantyhose. That new shit is a fucking gyp anyway.

9/9/2005 9:33:50 PM

changing oil is a big scam, run that shit till your engine blows and youll see, itll go like 1,000,000 miles

9/10/2005 8:41:20 AM

9/10/2005 9:58:40 AM

if you're paying the $ for k&n, you might as well use a nice wix filter or napa gold.

k&n is a waste, unless you race and need the welded nut on the end.

[Edited on September 10, 2005 at 3:09 PM. Reason : eh]

9/10/2005 3:08:33 PM

well, for whatever reason I always have higher oil pressure with the K&N so I just keep using them...oh well, whatever. 180K miles now and its still going strong

9/10/2005 3:38:25 PM

flow is what you should be concerned about... more pressure isn't always a good thing.

9/10/2005 4:30:37 PM

since pressure is measured towards the top of these engines, my logic is higher pressure pretty much has to be from more volume

9/10/2005 4:40:09 PM

could be, but it doesn't really matter where the reading is taken. if the filter is more restrictive, you're going to see a pressure increase no matter where the sending unit is. usually more flow=less pressure if all things stay the same (pump, etc.).

9/10/2005 4:44:14 PM

On Bob and Tom they were doing ads for NAPA and their motor oil.

Chick said that he "would change his oil everytime he got gas" as a joke and they ended up getting hatemail because of that.

9/10/2005 5:34:54 PM

oil filter should be changed with oil. it's standard procedure and cheap.

9/10/2005 7:06:18 PM

bunch of fuking idiots in here. any real mechanic knows to change oil and oil filter every 3 to 3500 miles. dont care if you have some gay moble one 123,432 mile oil in your car. its wrong. would a real human go with out showering for two weeks. no take one everyday. fucking idiots

9/12/2005 8:01:33 PM

i change mine every 5k. full synthetic.

I really hope you're kidding. Mobile1 synthetic (the regular shit, not the new 15K shit) lasts a fucking lot longer than 3K miles...have an oil analysis done if you don't believe me moron, they'll tell you you're wasting your god damn money changing it that often. I mean, any 'real' mechanic knows he'd love to charge you to change your oil and even do a 'courtesy' check of your while trying to find any and everything wrong with it so he'll have more work every 3k miles, but it's really a waste of good oil. But wtf do I know, I just have close to a half a million miles total on my two cars with not a hint of any engine trouble or abnormal wear.

Unless you're baonest in which case you take back the old oil in the containers that the new oil came with, thus getting free oil

9/12/2005 8:45:52 PM

im going to test my amsoil at 5k and at 10k to see what happens. you DEFINATELY do not need to changy any modern synthetic any sooner than 5k.

9/12/2005 8:49:58 PM

^ how can you make a blanket statement like that without knowing what kind of engine it is being used in and what kind of duty it is doing?

9/12/2005 8:53:41 PM

^that is true

^^ and that also is true for nearly all normal street vehicles that are driven in semi-normal temperatures and halfway sanely.

regardless, have the shit checked and let us know, i'm tired of arguing about this 3K miles shit

9/12/2005 8:59:29 PM

i autox every month, ill have a couple HPDEs on this oil, and generally tear my car up and i'm still not changing it for 10k. i'm gonna personally bust this myth.

9/12/2005 9:04:43 PM

go for it jimbo

9/12/2005 9:20:03 PM

my oil changes itself..

it lets itself out and i just have to refill every so often

9/12/2005 10:15:30 PM

hehe

9/12/2005 10:16:42 PM

i kinda dread changing the oil on the bonneville. IIRC the 3.8 filter location is a bitch

9/12/2005 10:24:52 PM

I'll do it for 40 bucks.

9/12/2005 11:18:34 PM

what a great deal! can you just pour out the old filter and stick it back on?

Guys, how often does your car manufacturer recommend you to change your oil/filter?

Acura recommends 7.5k for oil, 15k for filter for my car. Recommends 5w-30 just about all the time, not synthetic.

But, if you drive in one or more of these conditions most of the time:

Trips of less than 5 miles (less than 10 in freezing weather)
Extremely hot weather (over 90 degrees F)
Extensive idling or stop-and-go driving
Trailer towing, car-top carrier, or mountain driving
Muddy, dusty, or de-iced roads

Double it up. 3.75k for oil, 7.5k for filter.

Oil companies want to sell oil, car manufacturers want to avoid warranty repairs.
