I went to buy a new truck and left my trade in at the dealer for 5 days to make sure that I liked the truck I was going to buy. Long story short they changed my oil, I guess they thought it was a done deal. Well it wasn’t a done deal and I wanted my old truck back, when I picked it up and drove off it made a horrible sound, engine light came on about 30 miles later. My mechanic told me that there wasn’t any oil on the dipstick, am I in trouble.

I’m not particularly skilled at any one trade but I know how to use basic tools like wrenches, hammers, saws, screwdrivers, and measuring tape for minor vehicle maintenanc ( only wrenches and screw drivers for vehicle repairs) or home improvements. I can change the oil, oil filter, brake pads, air filter, spark plugs and spark plug wires on my truck (relatively minor things) but the more advanced stuff (computer controlled wiring, fixing head gaskets, cylynders, transmissions, etc) I am not skilled at, plus I don’t have my own garage. Around the house, I can tighten fixtures such as toilet paper holders, towel holders, faucets, etc and fix broken furniture when the damage is minor. What should I do so that I don’t get taken advantage of by some unscrupulous mechanic, carpenter, plumber, sheetrock contractor or electrician (I have been the victim of one once), when it comes to more advanced repairs and building work that I’m not as skilled at? What laws should I be aware of?

Ok, have a car now 89 ford escort gt, very fun car, time to move on though. Probally trade in at 3-4$k Wanting either, a new VW Rabbit, or a jeep or pickup used. If I get the new rabbit, have a new job at falcon field az.

If I do get one, in a year will the smell start going away? And what can I do for my current car? Some techs. Put oil vent thing on dash in summer. Pretty good idea.

How bout new car smell? Planning on keeping it for 4 years? Perhaps more if car still running strong..

Mobil 1 synthetic oil change question?

April 7, 2009 · Filed Under Maintenance & Repairs · 7 Comments 
todd5524 asked:


I was told by a mechanic that suggested to me ” Buy mobil 1 oil next time you do your oil change…I’ll almost guarantee your high mileage engine will smooth right out, and be quiet again. and you never need to do an oil change again…because it’s the best synthetic oil you can buy, guaranteed for the life of your car or xxxxxx miles, just change the filter about every three months or so, depending on how often you drive, and you’ll be good to go anywhere.” Does this sound like truth, or is this guy feeding me a line of bull…it’s not like he was trying to sell me anything, because he only works in a garage, he doesn’t own one. And he’s best friends with my Father who was Certified Mechanic by trade for over 40 years. It’s not that I don’t wan’t to believe him…but I never heard of an oil you don’t have to change? Please help me with suggestion’s on changing the oil of my 1990 Pontiac Sunbird with 2.0L Fuel Injected
