Good to know on these 2 shops. Also Avus in Glendale does good work. Reasonable rates, Dinan dealer.

Or if you wanted to try liqui moly 10w60....it can be had for a good price

Oh and you might consider a microfilter while you're at it as the dealer typically changes that at the same time as oil changes.

^Cabin filter

For the price of labor, you could get some ramps, oil drain canister, and some metric allen sockets.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
