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.

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.

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.
