If I ever buy a brand new car I would even have to think long and hard about paying for a service, it would kill me. Supercheap ryco oil filter and nulon 10-40 full synthetic. ( don't use ryco fuel filters though) 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93477-oils-aint-oils/page/64/#findComment-1446847 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drop my car off at dealership. They give me a loan car. They service it, send bill to fleet plus. I go back in. Hand them loan car they hand me my car. Kinda makes all my tools redundant. But I kinda like that. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93477-oils-aint-oils/page/64/#findComment-1446858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
