Fresh Mobile1 that comes from a bottle LABELED Mobile1 $27.
Satisfaction that you know your own vehicle, how to maintain it, and that the maintenance was carried out by someone who has better than a middle school education and actually gives a damn about the quality of work....
PRICELESS!

Agreed. And yes, they happen alot.
I have a friend who owns a garage, so I don't worry about those things and am spoiled.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I have been on of those folks who had to drive a screw driver through the oil filter to get it to spin off after going to a "QUICK LUBE."

Cost of having some shop put in the wrong oil every other time:
about $1500 to machine shops and factory for rebuild parts
So far almost 2 mo. w/o truck while working on it
all free time (no time with family or doing anything else until done)
All in all, I would much rather deal with an oil spill or a leaky container just to make sure it gets done right....
Like a said before and nobody responded to, use the kitty litter containers. They kick ass.
