Truth be told, I'd have little faith in a ten-minute oil change. Did the tech use a vacuum to suck out the worst of the old oil? You know - the gunky stuff left at the bottom of the oil pan when the thin oil runs out. I've read that's the stuff you want to really get out of there more than anything else. That's why I let 'em drip for at least a coupla hours when I'm doing an oil change.

Some places around here advertise a $9.99 oil change, 5 qts and a filter, with a little * after. They don't tell you you have to buy 3 at a time, and they expire in 1 yr.

Talk about boondoggles: bottled water (or, as I refer to it, "Yuppie water"). About 2,000 times as expensive as tap water, NO government reg's ('cuz it's not a food). Matter of fact, it's entirely possible that it IS tap water.

Oh, and here's another one: local tire chain (Autotire) advertises "$16.99 oil change"...truth is, the receipt says ~25 bucks! Show the real price, jerks!
