Default working on pilot

Hello and thanks for the responses.

Not sure what I will do for now. Suspect I will just go to the back of the complex and change the oil.

Have to say I am going to try to do most if not all of my fluid changes. After some of the things I am hearing about dealers and what goes on there at least if I do it myself I know it is done.

Any stories out there about dealers and routine maintaince.

Know I had the dealer do a oil change shortly after buying the car and noticed oil coming out from around the oil filter area. Got under the car and found the tech did not tighten the filter. I had to clean up a real mess and put about a quart of oil in the car.

Thank goodness I noticed it.

Then I talked to a repair shop and they wanted to use a heavier weight oil. Told me it really didn`t matter and also use their brake fluid and other stuff. who knows what a mess they would have made.

Man what a crazy situation.

Thanks for listening.
