Anyone know the best place to take a 02 cl type S to get a oil change?
some people say the dealer but some say it's not worth it....Jiffy lube or Firestone.
Any suggestions?

 

DIY!!! Use Mobil-1 or Amsoil

If not, take it to an actual garage (full service mechanic)..not jiffy lube. They're a bunch of fucking hacks (esp since you bought a luxury car...treat it as such)

 

what's the best regular oil to use??

 

Besides Amsoil (which is a bitch to get, BTW), Mobil 1, usually either 0w-20 or 5w-20. Don't use anything less.

 

0w20 might be a bit too thin. I would stick with 10W30 in the summer, and 5W30 in the winter; Mobil1 Synthetic, of course.

 

is the mobil 1 0w-20 the one to use i your car has lower mileage?? i have 26k miles on mine

 

It should say what oil to use in the manual & on the oil cap. Should be 5w20.

 

Mobil 1 has something on the 0w-20 bottles that says it is formulated for honda and ford engines, so I use 0w-20, I don't think I have seen 5w-20 in M1.

definately take it to a regular mechanic or get someone to do it for you if you can't do it on your own.

 

take it to a full service shop. example....goodyear such. firestone sucks as they use Kendall oil.

goodyear mostly uses Valvoline oils. which fall very close behind Mobil 1. however even that i work at a goodyear that offers Valvoline i still use Mobil 1 every 2500 miles.

 

You're just wasting your money then.

 

yea youj're wasting money, doesn't our manual say that the recommended change is 3500 miles?

 

Not only that, he's using synthetic.... definitely money poured down the drain.

 

i pay 5 dollars for 5 quarts of mobil 1, and my filters are free.....

 

I take mine to a valvoline place...but that was before i got my free oil...:-p

 

are the penzoil motor oils any good?

 

i heard royal purple are also good, and my local pepboys carries them

 

Time it lube pwn3s me. Castrol Syntec Blend went into my 01
