    nailed it. They will give you an idea of how the oil looks and make suggestions based off of how your engine is doing.

    haven’t you learned by now?! Anything vehicle related conversation needs strong opinions with no room for compromise.

    You like Lime Green? Yuck!

    You like 22 inch all chrome wheels? Princess!

    the list goes on & on.

    Reality is, we spend enough on these vehicles, opinions are cool at times but I’m more of a live & let live person. To each their own.

    I'm going with the Car Care Nut--oil change at 5k. Another thing I gleaned from the video is to not freak out and/or make a quick decision on "recommended" services at the dealership. They are loading up on those. And I was unfamiliar with Blackstone. Also good to know. Thanks for the comments/recommendations.

    Yeah I was shocked when I went in last that they didn't change the oil and they said it was 10k miles. I'm going to have them start doing 5k going forward. I don't care if I have to pay for it.
