Anyone know of any auto parts store running "oil change" specials.
I think Autozone is, so I'm about to call. But there's not one near here, so I just wanted to see if anyone else knew of any...
yes this is a garage topic, but no one's home right now
autozone's special: $12.99 - 5 quarts of quaker state conventional & stp filter these any good? I've never used either brand.

I buy WIX filters online from rock auto. They are the shiznit.
For cheap oil either Rotella T syn (what I use in my bikes, no they are NOT diesel but it works great anyways) or the mobil 1 syn at wally world. About $16 to $20 a gallon
It's worth the extra $10 or $15 to get the good stuff, especially if you don't change the oil very frequently. 8/3/2008 9:48:50 AM |

don't care about getting "cheap stuff" I just prefer a deal on better stuff
changing my oil today so online ordering isn't an option
conventional oil, no synthetic 8/3/2008 9:49:59 AM |

Hahahahaha
OMG
Quaker state is NOT "better stuff"
Just go buy a case of valvoline at Sam's club if you are set on conventional.

i know people hate on quaker state due to sludge but that was 20 years ago. any oil that is SM API certified will be fine for normal use including QS. 8/3/2008 10:05:05 AM |

For my very first oil change I used quaker state, before I knew better. Seriously, rotella T (conventional) is cheaper and does not burn off as bad, if your vehicle can take 15-40. 8/3/2008 10:09:53 AM |

it'll mess up your emissions system over time if you run it in something not specd for it.

AutoZone has a special that's $14.99 for 5 quarts of Castrol GTX and an STP oil filter.
Or check this out, and see if you'd rather pay more for a different kind. Castrol oil is fine. I just got the 13.99 special on 5 quarts of oil and a fram oil filter 2 weeks ago, I think it was Castrol too.
