Due to a busy schedule, lack of a garage right now, cold temps and a household that just got over the flu, I may take my car to Valvoline IOC. I've been there 3x before with another car, and other than price, they were good.
Unfortunately I was unable to install the Fumoto drain valve I have, which would have allowed me to do the job quick w/o changing the filter (although that needs to be replaced as well this time). I installed Mobil 1 0w20 AFE back in May of last year (i think), and the car has seen some very severe service.
Do you think Valvoline IOC is the safest bet? If I do go there, I'll be requesting their regular Full Syn 5w20 which meets D1G2 and has a Noack of 7.6%. (SA is .97 compared to Mobil 1 which is .8)
