My TCH has 3400+ miles and my dealership recommends oil changes every 3500 miles. I contacted them a while back to find out if the lifetime free oil changes that come with my car are 0W-20 and they are not (surprise, surprise), however the only thing I will have to pay is the cost of the oil and they stock Mobile 1 0W-20, HOWEVER it's $7.00 per quart. The service manager with whom I spoke said that I could get 0W-20 cheaper elsewhere and if I choose to do that I can bring my own oil in for the oil change and then my oil change will be totally free. I think this is great until I start trying to FIND Mobile 1 0W-20.
Two auto parts chain stores in the area don't have it. They don't carry 0 weights, they tell me.
I called BJ's Wholesale, and they don't have it.
So, I call Target... the guy in the automotive department tells me that, "There is no such thing as 0W-20." Ummm, yeah... OK. Anyway, they don't have it either OBVIOUSLY.
I am loathe to call Wal-Mart, because I hate them (say whatever you want, I can despise Wal-Mart if I so desire, this is America). Wal-Mart is what the service manager suggested when she suggested that I buy the oil myself.
I actually got on the phone and called Exxon Mobile myself (no joke) and the guy that answered said that any store that sells Mobile 1 products can get me 0W-20, but I may have to ask to have it ordered specifically for me. Oh great.
So, I am beginning to think it might be better to just pay the $7.00 per quart and save myself the hassle of trying to find the oil myself.
