Well today, after getting a hair cut, i went to valvoline and got my oil changed, i got 10w-30 maxlife, im running maxlife because well my car has 161000 miles on it and its gotta last. Well I just wanted to comment on the good people and the effiecenty of valvoline. Maybe next time I will get Synethic. I was thinking about it but its kinda $$. I paid $32 which isn't bad, I could have had my dad change it for me but he wouldn't been like, im using generic supermarket-brand oil. So Im pretty happy.
yep, got friends that work for them, and i'm probably gonna work there over the summer. the maxlife is good stuff. i've used that, and it actually stopped some preexisting leaks. i also switched to synthetic for a while, and my 140k si did not like it. it was extremely loud, leaked, and didn't make a difference in power. i'm an opponent of it on older cars, but try it if you want. i only had to replace the oil cooler gasket because of it.
Synthetic isn't really good for high mileage engines from what I understand because it's so thin. If your engine has existing holes/cracks/imperfections in the seals or gaskets, it could be thin enough to dribble out where as a synthetic blend or something of that nature would be nice and thick to not bleed through.

32 bucks? thats really high. most places around here charge 20-25 bucks.
id rather just pay 12 bucks total for my castrol gtx 10-30 and my wix filter and do it myself. [at the risk of the OSU popo ticketing me for doin that shiet in the parking lot]
