Jeremy airjer W Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Valvoline Rapid Oil change or Jiffy Lube is the last place I'd bring any of my vehicles. I see way too many stripped drain plugs and/or oil pans. Oil filters over tightened (I had a valvoline filter on a car one time that was so tightthat when I finally pulled it off the threaded nipple came out of the block instead of the filter). Last but not least Lack of oil. Our shop gets 2-3 cars a year from local quick lubes with blown engines![This message has been edited by airjer (edited 02-04-2003).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
