Equal opportunity for all "geniuses".
Do you pump the premium or the cheap gas in that big ass Tundra you own?
The cheap swill goes in my Tundra. Always has, always will.
Just like those dumbasses who tell me to get an oil change every 5,000 miles while I change it every 10,000 miles.
If said dumbasses work for the dealership or jiffy lube, you know why already.
When I bought my F150, the woman who sold it to me gave me a heads up that the places you mentioned will tell me otherwise.
My parents live on the Westside in Ortega. I visit them almost every day. My kids live in OP(Oakleaf) where I visit them quite often. I live off San Jose Blvd.
I also forgot to mention I grew up on the Westside, went to Jeff Davis Jr High and Forrest Sr High.
I believe it was circa 1995 when I was in Lake Charles for the Pennzoil-Conoco joint venture for Group II base stocks. After refining, oil was pure water clear. Everything was removed. Oil looked like a glass of ice water at Denny's. Pennzoil patented Pure Base and Conoco Hydroclear. Additives gave the crankcase oil a little color. Pennzoil was a bit darker with it's exclusive Z-7 additive package. Group II oils could go much further. Chevron invented the process as I recall. Today all conventional is Group II plus.
Did the driver have a phone in his right hand?
That must be the fuel station across from the Turkish Bath-house.
R U sure he's the one "filking" up ??
One thing I do is try to get mine changed every 3000 miles. Why? Because I have 350,000 miles on my Tundra. I also have a small oil leak on the top of the engine and I'd rather change it than check it and add any. It's been leaking about 10 years. 😂 I think the last time I washed it was 5 years ago. So far no major repairs just aggravating stuff like rack and pinion, ball joints, and new hubs, brakes, etc.
What's your take on conventional vs synthetic oil? I've always used conventional. Mostly due to price, I just get it changed more often.
In some oil circles, today's Group II+ conventional base stocks are synthetic since they have changed so much.
My dad had a 2000 Chevy Tahoe. I don't remember how many miles he had on it but when he died last year we sold it for 13k. The guy who bought it acted like he'd just won the lottery.
IIRC, that was the year GM released the redesigned Tahoe's and Yukon's. Near the end of that year the MSRP on them significantly dropped from 40k to 22k. I finally convinced my wife to buy one but by the time we went out to shop for one, every 2000 model had been sold and we saw nothing but the 2001 models in stock. If only the wife had agreed a week earlier, I'd have been a proud owner of a 2000 Chevy Tahoe back then. I settled for a 6 cylinder Honda Accord because I didn't like the Ford Expedition or Explorer.My dad had a 2000 Chevy Tahoe.

Just slap some STP oil treatment in there and it will keep rolling along as the Casons do.
Congratulations, you’ve squeezed almost every drop of blood out of that turnip.
Unfortunately for me, the ONLY oil I can use on my 2019 Titan is full synthetic. Nissan, in their infinite wisdom, decided to use a weight oil that doesn’t come in conventional form.
My local Jeep dealer dumped all conventional. Wife's Renegade uses 0W20 which is synthetic only. I went to synthetic 5W30 at around 100,000 on my like new 2007 PT Cruiser.
