Where is a good place for an oil change?

Place you go that offers good service, gets job done, and just all around a good place?

Ditto, just do it yourself to make sure it's done right.

DIY. That's how I do it. It's like a "quality control" type of measure.

Plus, I would be a bit pissed to find out there was an Evo owner on this forum that doesn't know where the oil filter is located, or that didn't know what a crush washer was.

if you cant do it yourself, then i would suggest the dealer. careful with the "mom and pop" garages. some places its cheap oil, cheap filter, forget to put in your drain plug (screw), forget to screw on the filter tight, forget to put oil, add too much oil (5 or 6 quarts), forget to put your oil cap back on...... ahhhh soooo many horror story's. not me personally, but from people i know. always double check when someone else does it.

my driveway is covered in snow right now. Chicago weather maaan, unpredictable! It's all good, I went to AMS to get an oil change + brakes + tire rotation. I'm satisfied.

And damn, I thought this thread would never get any hits. Took about 2 weeks, lol.
