Lube Stop
My buddy takes his 00' F250 7.3 to Lube Stop for oil changes? He says its great, done in 15 minutes, and $50 cheaper than anywhere else. I guess i never think of going there because I cherish my truck- but do any of you do this?

Absolutely not.
Nobody has touched either of my trucks, or my wifes car, unless something I can't figure out, and that's at an overpriced dealership. Most of the "quick lube" places don't have people that know anything about the differences of oil weight's, and filters. If he's getting off $50 cheaper, it's most likely lower grade/brand oil, and oil filter.
Just my opinion.

People who can't pass any kind of mechanical skills test end up working at those lube places. That, and guys recently paroled.
'Course you could go with him next time and see what/how they do and what they use for oil & filter.
