Default Scheduled Maintenance

I just reached 9k miles on my '01 Z28 so it's time for another oil change...mobile 1 synthetic. Anything else I should do this time around?

Thanks,
Brian

Default Re: Scheduled Maintenance

So I took my car up to the local chevy dealer near work. I told them to change the oil with mobile 1 synth and rotate the tires. I get it back and the cabin reaks and the engine is smokin, there's grease streaks all over my door handles and shifter. I drove it right back into the service department. It was near the end of the day so the mechanics had conveniently gone home. The manager told me my next oil change would be free. I probably won't be going back though. I don't know what it is but I've never had good service at a dealership. I take my car up to the dealer so that I can maintain good service/maintenance records for the car, but it seems like such a paradox because they do such an awful job. Alright, I'm done fuming now.

Dealers suck.

One time I took my 68 camaro too them. They forgot to latch the hood pins, and the hood flew off.
