Anyone know where I can get these locally? I know I can get them online, but I'd rather deal locally, and I don't need thousands of them. 5/5/2008 5:59:01 AM |

I know that advanced auto parts has them if you go in the store to where the oil is, they are free for the taking just grab a few next time you're in there. 5/5/2008 7:43:56 AM |

what are you using these for, if something other than the obvious 5/5/2008 10:00:40 AM |
wdprice3 BinaryBuffonary 45912 Posts user info edit post |
just the obvious. i'm changing my own oil now, and so I'd like to have these, because there's no way I'll remember the mileage. 5/5/2008 10:04:04 AM |

Masking tape or blank labels from staples work fine? This isnt rocket science. 5/5/2008 6:38:20 PM |

I also use a sharpie. Sure it fades, but by the time it fades, it is usually time to change it again anyway. 5/5/2008 9:51:31 PM |

for those of us that don't live in the ghetto or want sticky residue on our windshields....static glass labels work just fine.5/5/2008 10:07:17 PM |

how hard it it to remember 3,000 mile intervals? 5/5/2008 11:44:52 PM |

how hard it it really Quinn? 5/5/2008 11:57:31 PM |

it's easy to remember a 3000 mile interval. it's difficult for me to remember when that interval began, thus when it ends as well

3000...nah. I change mine every 7500. Never had an internal engine problem after 3 cars 288,000, 278,000, 218,000 miles each. I just let my car tell me when it's been 7500.
So what exactly are you looking for in your oil change sticker? I never thought anyone would care about the design unless it was pink or something.

Mighty, or any place that supplys a shop with its products. such as filters, wipers, and other genral shit like that. walker or carolina auto parts on pleasant valley road has them. ive bought them before. look at buying a 1000 of them. lol 5/6/2008 1:22:29 PM |
