So I have a Buddy(i'm sure we all do, or sibling,cousin, child, etc..) that doesn't remember to do things like...change the oil in his cars...so I usually end up changing it for him.
he's Currently driving My old Neon, which really belongs to his Mom/Brother, but Brother left it at his place when he went into the army last year. (he's driving it b/c it's A/C works, and it doesn't in his car.)
anywho, when i went to visit him recently I asked if he'd had the oil changed in either car, since I did it in April '17. "Was it that long ago?!" he's been in and out of the hospital after a surgery lately, so i've been visiting more lately, but haven't really felt like dragging my ramps and tools the 100mi to his place.....
he was coming up here yesterday to "supervise" some work at his mom's property, I reminded him about the oil situation, told him to just take it to the Walmart near his house. (advertising QS in their TLE).
he gets up here, and complains about the $70 oil change... What, $70? Wally's like $19.99?.. "Well, i was on my way there, and saw a jiffy lube, and thought why not?, they guy talked me into the mid grade oil change.."
mid grade? you mean Synthetic Blend? "Yeah, that's what he said! Synthetic blend!... but they vacuumed out the car, and for an extra $3 topped off all the other fluids"
then I notice the sticker they put on the windshield has a big Castrol logo on it right under the Jiffy Lube Logo...
Jiffy Lube is Owned By Royal Dutch Shell... they "always" featured Sopus oils (Pennzoil, QS)...now this one is using their competitor's product? what's going on?
