    Mobile 1 at my buddies Pennzoil Shop. I can't change the oil and dispose of it as cheap as he can. I would rather do it myself though.

    I have pulled apart a few engines no one took care of. When there is so much build up of oil it will not let you remove the push rods something is wrong. You should not have to use pliers to pull them out. The lifters would not even slide out. You could not even see them. The valley was like a dryed up tar pit.

    That is funny. Quaker state. Sorry just not my first choice. But I will not knock a guy if it has been good for them.
