42.04 MPG straight off the lot! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Most quick lube joints stick a tube in the dipstick and suck it out, then they have another hose to fill it back up. I have never actually been to one of these places, but I have read about this stuff and heard from friends too. The recycled oil being used I read about in an Amsoil newsletter. These places are trying to save a buck wherever they can. The filters are friggin horrible. Probably less than a dollar to produce. They are also big on making sure you know to bring it back at 3000 miles religiously, and with the shit they just put in and that crappy filter, you better be back in 3000 miles or you'll be sorry. With Mobil-1 Extended Performance you can go 15,000. With an Amsoil bypass oil filter system, you can go 100,000 miles on 1 oil change.
