HCH owners rejoice! Mobile 1 0W-20 Synthetic is back!
Just found out that Mobile 1 has brought back the 0W-20 synthetic oil back into their lineup in Feb 2006! HCH owners: use this oil for great mileage...period. See link below...I saw it on sale at Wal-Mart today.

Wow, someone that still does their own oil changes. :)
Do dealers typically provide the option when they change the oil of synthetic or regular? We have a dealer here that guarantees under 30 minutes (no appointment) and only charges like $25. |

I like changing my oil because it forces me to actually look under the hood. I usually catch minor problems before they get out of hand. In one of my other cars, I found a small leak in the radiator hose. I took care of it before it got worse.
I was reviewing the manual for oil change procedures, and it looks like I have to lose about 20lbs before I tackle it. It looks pretty tight down there. -CFB |

I change my own oil.
Then I know it has exactly the right amount of oil. I know the car really got Mobile1 0w20 oil and a Mobile1 filter. I know the bolt is torqued to the right pressure and a new washer was used. |

now, I need to learn how to change the oil myself... lol

It looks pretty tight down there. -CFB I caught a busted CV joint, only because the grease splooged all over the underside by the oil filter, and I knew it wasn't there before. Turned out the bearing had frozen as well- another 500 miles and it would've sheared the wheel clean off at 70mph. Ya think Lubeshak would've noticed, cared, or thought otherwise of a little grease underneath? You don't even need to know what you're looking at- so no excuses from the 'not mechanically inclined' folks. You're simply looking for something that was not there before, or vice versa. (Dirt and grime excepted) Then go tell your mechanic. |

But hey, everyone has their own comfort zone. I like changing my own oil and eyeballing my vehicle up close and personal. ;) |
