My last oil change I had to go out of town quickly, so I had a havoline place change the oil. Today I change the oil and find a several things I am angry about.
#1--Oil filter that I supplied was so loose that it wiggled when I touched it. Not even hand tight. Don't know how it sealed but it did. Less than one turn off and oil came out the bottom. The filter was a baldwin b2-hpg.
#2--I asked for Mobil1 10w-30, on the receipt it has havoline synthetic. I did not want a group III oil. Wanted mobil1 and paid for that.
#3--The oil plug was in so tight, I nearly picked the slant six up off it the driver side motor mount to get it out.
Lesson learned: I will change my own oil from now on no matter what.
If I have no choice, I will be checking behind anyone that touches my car from now on. I will be writing a scathing note to this operation. $50 down the tubes and could have cost me an engine.
Last note: The baldwin filter did a great job, oil was carrying dirt but was still amber after 5000 miles.
