"I'm not a car guy, but I do know (having learned the hard way) that changing your oil only every year and a half is an excellent way to need a new car. In order to avoid replacing my current one, and owing to my local mechanic's recent changeover to \"weekdays only\". . . I took my car to Valvoline Instant Oil Change to have. . . my oil changed.\n\nThey changed my oil. BUT. . . they also topped off fluids, explained the process, changed my air filter, checked my lights and much much more. . . in about fifteen minutes. \n\nI didn't call ahead. I didn't sit in the \"waiting room\" leafing through old Cabella's catalogs and 2010 Hot Rod magazines. I just sat in my car, drove up to the garage doors. . . and let the magic happen. \n\nAnd it is magic to me. . . cause I'm not a car guy. If you're not a car guy either. . . good place to know."^^ . . "4"^^ . "3"^^ . "0"^^ . . "2011-08-29T00:00:00"^^ . . "1"^^ .
