Hey Fabs

You do make a pretty good point though. Those service intervals with the things that have to be done are very costly when done by the dealers. Or anyone else for that matter. I really don't mind changing the oil in the Ford diesel but getting under that jetta sure is a problem. It is true that there isn't that much savings on the oil changes when you do it yourself..but most people don't do their own oil changes. The Jetta costs 70 bucks to have the oil changes. The Ford diesel really isn't a whole lot more and it takes 16 quarts of oil. Soon I'm going to go to a synthetic on the Ford
