![]() Our Jeep GC never had an oil leak since we bought it, had it a year and a half. Occasionally, on our "beater" cars, I've taken it somewhere to get changed. If you want someone to look, aren't sure of a decent local independent and don't mind giving them your right nut for payment, go to the dealer. If you want someone to look and give you a good honest evaluation, find yourself a good local independent. There's no benefit to the quick lube guys pointing out you need brakes because they can't sell you brakes.if they even know what brakes are.but I digress.īasically, if you want someone to actually look and maybe find something, go to a full service chain. If you go to a national chain like a Firestone service center, you may get a more thorough inspection because they are looking for things to upsell you on. This isn't just a Valvoline problem, it's a fast lube problem and Jiffy Lube, Grease Monkey, etc. If you're depending on these guy's to perform an actual inspection on your vehicle you are SOL. You're lucky the techs at those quick lube shops get the oil in the right hole and remember to put the drain plug back in before they do. Anybody else have this problem or any thoughts? I don't think that they actually check anything at all. This obviously raises the question of what other stuff they don't check. I go to 3 different locations and the same thing has happened at ALL of them. She inflates 5 psi high and they never check or correct it. It has happened to my wife too in her car at least as often. This has happened to me at least 6 times. Them: "That's the factory spec for that truck. Me: "Nope, this seems to be wrong unless you let a lot of air out." Every single time I've been there with this vehicle their "check sheet" says 35/36 psi. ![]() Unless I'm carrying a load I keep them at 50/60 and I check the pressure before heading to Valvoline. The door sticker specifies 50psi front / 80psi rear. But it's a Suburban 2500 so it looks pretty much like every other Surb out there. ![]() I drive a heavy duty truck with truck tires. ![]() Guess what? They absolutely do NOT check air pressure unless maybe they notice a flat tire. Afterwards they have the sheet that lists all the stuff they supposedly "checked" - transmission fluid, tire pressure, coolant level, etc. I regularly get my oil changes at Valvoline. ![]()
