. Why anyone still does it at home... Unless you just enjoy it
If you really want to get me going about dealers its the you call a week ahead for an APPOINTMENT!!! they say be here at 8 don't be late. You show up and they say well we will get to your car soon and then 2 hours later... Doesn't anyone know the meaning of the word appointment? Seems 3 hour oil changes at dealers is fairly common prctice.
I mean yeah I hear ya LOL. But what I do is when a dealer jerks me around on a oil change i start wondering the lot till a salesman comes out and I go test drive cars. Then when he wants me to buy one I say no Im just in for a oil change. Actually had one man up and ask me why I wanted to test drive the cars then and I was honest I said well yall wasted my time so I figured I would waste yours LOL. Plus I have a gravel driveway and no garage. So oil changes myself are a bit of a chore. Al depends on your set up^^^ thats another reason why I don't go to the Dealer. ^^^^
Takes me 45 minutes to drive there and it takes 2 hours to do it for some reason even with a appointment. That 3 and a half hours. Half a frekkin day
I takes me 15 minutes to change my oil in the garage. I put the old oil in mIlk cartons and just drop it off at Advance Auto where I buy the oil an filter. and yes I enjoy doing It.
for me hell my stands are in the shed moving car to a flat spot jacking it up.... blah blah blah. I would have a hour into it, family bother me the whole time. Well you get it . For me not worth doing at home all the extra running to buy the oil and filter and dropping off used.
For Roush that's a huge problem. The warranty specifies 5w50. I wouldn't want to be driving around 660rwhp with the wrong oil.Thanks. It was my biggest problem at the moment and actually wasn't really that big of a problem, just time consuming
That's what is really annoying with my dealer, it takes a very long time for basic jobs, its basically a ~2h oil change after letting the car wait in the parking lot for an hour.
Your just not set up right and yeah I wouldn't do it either under those conditions.Plus I have a gravel driveway and no garage. So oil changes myself are a bit of a chore. Al depends on your set up
Oh jesus, I bit off topic but yes. My buddy has his tires changed and worked on at his ford dealer. When we go to do some work on his car it takes both of us basically standing on the lug wrench to break the lugs loose. They dont pay any attention to toruqe specs thats for sure. If he was on side of road he would never get those wheels off if a flat happened.Your just not set up right and yeah I wouldn't do it either under those conditions.
Love my garage. Relaxing with tunes and beer. Changing the Engine Oil, Primary and Transmission fluid in the Harley Today.
I let the dealer do it one time because I was feeling lazy and they put the oil filter on way too tight and it was a nightmare to take off. They also super tightened the Derby cover bolts and I had to chisel 2 of them out and go back to the dealer to get new ones.
Its not just Ford dealer mechanics that suck ... lol
I was alluding to the Covid stuff multiplied by crappy service. Guess we'll seeOH they will still be in business because there are thousands of people that are not on auto forums and have no idea how to do anything to their car. I didn't make a first mistake, since I chose to take it there
Meh.. I put a 5 gallon pail under the drain, poke a hole in the oil filter, then come back in an hour or until it's drip dry. I ain't in no rush haha.
