We stopped there after work from time to time last summer. The counters are at a good height and eating ice cream that the boss paid for, while watching pretty girls, while on the clock makes for a good day.

What will they tell you about the oil?

Have you seen that oil being advertised by castrol i think it is that protects against 98% of future engine wear?

they tell you how your engine is running i guess. they give you all the numbers and then a little report at the end based on their findings, ill be interested to see if everything is in check. i use valvoline durablend for my oil, truck runs good and burns very little of it
