Wud up bro. If you take your own oil, the price is still the same. It is a set price. If you wanna change it, come over to the pad this Saturday. I'll help you out. I have all the stuff you need.

Don't want to put a damper on JiffyLube but I've heard stories. I just went to Baker-Jackson North for a quickie. 30 bucks and I'm outa' there, plus I feel they know my car.

I go to a Quik Lube place. They have Royal Purple there! Sorry, visionboy, it's on the North side of town. Plus, I am too darn lazy to change it myself.

The one and only reason I don't trust someone else to change the Z's oil, is because of the skid pan. I've already had 2 different places loose one of those retaining screws.

This is Tu, right?..... Give me a holla. My # is on that list that was e-mailed out today. I'm not busy next Tuesday night if you wanna do it around 7:30pm. I thought I wasn't busy this Saturday, but I forgot that I'm volunteering to help build a new trail at Memorial Park.
