If you are worried about forking $100, you bought the wrong kind of car. That said, if you do plan to use a quick lube or a jiffy lube, do the next owner a favor and buy the appropriate oil from the dealer.
Good luck with the sale.

Ignore all the newbies ddalgi. These guys Are talking out of their asses.
I swear you guys are the biggest lurkers, never comment on anything, and when you do it's to bash/flame new members.
the lady asked for a referal if you don't have one stay out of the thread.

My Ride: My 5 and I met on Father's Day 2008 and have been together ever since. 20" Wheels (Make TBD), premium package, sport package, AiB V3 upgrade and a Passport Escort 8500 Radar Detector.
I have a good referral but I'm sure Long Beach is out of your way... especially for an oil change.
Charges $125-ish...
Let me know if you want the info.

the lady asked for a referal if you don't have one stay out of the thread.It seemed to me that the OP wanted to skimp on maintenance which is not good for anyone. I am trying to protect the next potential buyer from picking up a poorly maintained car. If anything, a new oil change can be used as a selling point and would make the next owner feel much better about the purchase.
In case it wasn't directed toward's me, my apologies.
Regards.

OK, after re-reading the thread, I came to the wrong conclusion. Looks like the OP does not want to go to Jiffy lube and instead is looking for references. Doesn't seem like OP was looking to skimp on maintenance.
My apologies.
