I finally had the oil in my "cah" changed the other afternoon.
I had a coupon to Valvoline, an instant oil change business here in East Tennessee, so I went there and had a pleasant experience.
As I pulled up to the business, they opened one of the garage door and had me pull right in. I never had to get out of my cah! I remained in the driver seat, where the technician, on their computer, came to me. They gathered my information, asked what services I was interested in and went to work.
Seems this place extracted (sucked out) my oil versus the traditional gravity drain via the drain plug. They simply removed the oil dipstick and placed a long narrow tube down and sucked the oil out, see first pic below -
They measured the proper amount of synthetic oil needed for my cah into a separate container, then poured it into my engine -
All in all it was a good experience. They asked some up front questions about air filters and fuel additives but otherwise NO upselling or "finding" of issues needing replacements. Fluids were topped off, e.g. windshield washer, tested my battery and put air in my tires. They were friendly, professional and through, even wiping their finger prints (if there were even any) off the hood once they closed it.
