I wouldnt touch one of those Jiffy Lube type places! Especially with a Evo, etc.
I would take it to a rep private shop!

I second this - don't ever take your car to a Jiffy Lube or any other in-and-out oil change place. You never know what kind of oil they're putting in your car. And employee turnover is worse than McDonalds...

Bring ur car to me if you live in MD. I will teach you how to change your own oil.. It's really simple and no one will take better care of your evo than yourself.. hopefully

Just do it yourself. Then you know the job is getting done properly.
