I'd never let them touch something like my Truck.

Yeah, not to mention crossthreading the drain plug. Mystery oil going in, wrong level, not letting it fully drain etc etc. Seen folks dump their whole pan on the parking lot of a shopping center shortly after an oil change. Not gonna happen to me. It is a labor of love if you will.

Reckless,
What brand and weight does Jiffy Lube carry for diesel engines?
Not that I'll be using them, 'cause I really want to KNOW that the change is done right. So it's done by me.

JiffyLube willl change the oil on my desiel for $30? Wow, guess I will keep an eye out for that coupon. Normally there is a disclaimer at the bottom of the page that says something like full size trucks extra.

Jiffy Loose! On Vacation driving from Rochester, NY to BH, Maine.
First thing I did was stop in Roc at JL for fresh oil.
35 miles down the road oil light comes on. Checked oil level, no reading on the stick. Checked under car and there is my oil.
In the middle of nowhere I had to redo my oil change and filter on the side of the road because the filter had no rubber gasket.
JLs reply to my complaint was "If you returned to us we would have fixed the problem".
I have not returned and never will.
Best of luck to those of you who trust your vehicle to others. A friend had his wiper fluid topped off with antifreeze!
