Everybody I know who has/had one hated it....all kinds of issues... My local repair shop loves when those drive in.....

Thanks. It makes me feel better just hearing that..... I think it is still $27 at my local Walmart (it's where I pick up Mobil 1 for the wife's car) Actually, I just got a Murray's/O'Reilly Ad today, and they have Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic for 3.99 a quart. I'm hearing rave reviews, I might even give it a try..... Plus, there is going to be a 10 buck rebate on mobil 1 in April, I hear.....

Earl Tea? They sell that?

Lots of those, sadly...

Ok, 1LT then...

...I don't go to Autozone..... To save money (just on the Balt), I've been considering going from Mobil 1 to a synthetic blend oil. At least to me, I have not got the same benefit like I got with the Cav...(Granted, the Cobalt has been on Quaker State dino until the last oil change, which was Mobil 1.) Anyways, AZ has a decent deal, 5 qts of Valvoline Durablend and a Bocsh oil filter for 20 bucks. I wanted to see if my filter was included (since it tends to be a bit more) The guy asked me what I was running now. Mobil 1, of course. Then the guy proceeds to tell me that once I use a full synthetic, I cannot go back, or the car will blow up. Then, he decides to get his manager to tell me how stupid I would be to do this, and how they would rather not have me buy the Valvoline so I don't decide to sue or something if my car blows up. I'm like- I'm pretty good with oils, and I have done my research, and I am always learning more as I go...(See my Kendal post, I'm not afraid to learn) Had I not been so pissed and walked out- I would have asked him--If you can't mix them, then why the heck do you sell a SYNTHETIC BLEND?? While I don't mind opinions, I do not like people telling me what I can or cannot do.... While I haven't made up my mind yet (I may still get Mobil 1 again anyways-there is a rebate and a price drop on the way), that just annoys me to no end... Thanks for listening to my vent.

Maybe...

Junk. Yeah, they got better, but you'll still be spending some money.....

It keeps looking like it is going to happen....

I like the look...very edgy.....

And it is also Motorcraft oil.....and O'reliey's oil too....

It's called rebates, DF. Granted, I like the looks of the Malibu much more....

While I agree with your point-why waste money on a car that is not going to be around much longer? I wouldn't waste the money either.....

The sad part is that GM IS politics now....there is no way around that, once the government is involved. Should be interesting....

Considering the bashing I'm getting this year, rent to own could work (though I'm not a fan of it) As far as repairs, it helps to know "people"...

Nice Riv 454! And you guys suck...it seems like all the Michigan guys are on the east side of the metro area....
