Im 1.5 over 68k miles. The last time i changed my oil was like 4 months ago. I have a nissan

sorry how many miles since last oil change, what a 4 cyl sentra, or 4cyl anything. Not worth dyin over. You can go 8 to 10k easily unless it heavy city or u really abuse it. Nice highway miles easy 8k

Its not that I dont trust you, I dont really trust a few of your fellow employees:manny:

Well we're held to pretty high standards at Valvoline. nikkas get fired pretty quickly if they fukk up someone's shyt like ya mentioned breh. If they fukked up someone's oil change, or fukked up something on someone's car....shyts not gonna work out for em.

:yeshrug:

Not only that, but we'll have you out of that bytch with full washer and coolant in under 10 minutes, my nikka :youngsabo:

Its been 4.5 since my last change and its a 3.5 sl v6 that sees both city and highway.

I checked it today and it didnt look that bad but it could be lighter. I use Dura blend

My Dad taught me how to change my own oil. If you can't get someone to teach you how to do it, there is always Google or Youtube. :manny:



I use it all the time to figure out stuff that I don't necessarily know. It saves money in the long run.

30 at Walmart

And that air filter is the biggest scam ever
Cost like 7 bucks and it's something you can pop out and in, in two seconds

Yeah. No. I do that shyt every day, some 40 times a day. And probably 50% of air filters are a bytch to get out.

Some cars, like yours probably, are easy to get out. But others....ruin my fukking day. Its for peeps who don't wanna deal with it, breh. Most muhfukkas would pop the hood, and couldnt name off 5 things. Unhook a bunch of shyt tryna get to the filter and realize too late that they were unscrewing shyt off the radiator or something lol

Just rather not take that slim chance, I sure your good but rather just have my mechanic check everything out when its in. Jus copped a black/black V. Feels like im in the batmobile at night with 20%

U should be good with synthetic for a little while longer like easily up to 6k, save the money, make it first priority cause ur car is important and get it done right by a Valvoline professional

And that's another thing. I didn't know synthetic that you can get more miles on it. I would still go every 3 months. Jiffy Lube got over.

Yup. Its worth it with the amount of miles more you can drive with it, and the fact that that shyt has a lot of additives to clean out the old gunk that conventional or regular oil doesn't have.

If ya car is important to you, spend the money. I doubt the dudes changing oil at Wal-Mart have a check and balance system as in depth as we do when changing oil and shyt at Valvoline, anyways.
