So, Wal-Mart sucks more... (refused oil change) I went to wal-mart to get my oil/filter changed. I had purchased the oil already, and had the filter in the front seat (they don't have Mobil-1 fileters). I wait for about an hour for them to get to my car, then they REFUSE to change the oil because I have an 'aftermarket drain plug'. Apparently it was against policy.
Now, keep in mind I've had it changed there before, so long as I provide the drain plug tool.
It's that hour of my life that pisses me off so much. I would just do it myself, but my car is really low and difficult to get on ramps, plus I was in the area and the only change about $8.

I understand your car is low and hard to get onto ramps, but you should be ashamed you brought your car to Wal-Mart. Jack the damn car up you've got SFCs if your jack isn't low enough of a profile then go buy a new one.

Here is the jack I bought.

I carry it in my car in case I get a flat. It would suck to be on the road with a flat and no way to change it. Oh yeah.. it works for changing oil too!

maybe he knows someone there, maybe its monsoon season where he lives, maybe he lives in a city where he has to park his car on the street, maybe he lives in an apt complex where they dont let you work on your car, maybe he has a garage but he cant work on his car in it. way to think about your comments

Maybe he should have brought it somewhere other than Wal-mart to get it changed, it's tough love.
