Maybe I should have added that the techs in question do this to their own
vehicles and not to customers



Did you know that most independent auto shops add 40 to 60% to the price of the
oil that they sell?



Did you know that Citgo is just (filtered) recycled oil!?



Did you know that most modern engine oil contain detergents that can handle
quite a bit of wear a tear?

Every 12k or possibly once every year!
