Wow! (synthetic oil change price)

Pays to have a thick skin on Usenet.

There's nothing like doing it yourself if you want it done right. I was at Walmart and figured it was a good chance to get the oil changed. They immediately try to sell you on a bunch of stuff - air filter, chassis lube, tire pressure, clean the interior, etc.

I sprang for the extra cost of synthetic and chassis lube. The oil did get changed - hopefully it is synthetic (at least the lifters clatter a bit when starting - the usual sign of synthetic) but there wasn't a bit of lube on the chassis that I could see. Even if they didn't clean the zerk fittings there should be some grease on them. I won't go to Walmart again. Then the idiot tries to tell me that I didn't pay for a chassis lube - until I bring the invoice to him.

iIf I was that gullible I would have bought 5 to get the free shipping.

No, I'm for real. BTW, you started this, so how can I be the troll? You just wanted somewhere to whine, "Ain't it awful ....?" Well, yes and no, so cope or shut the f*ck up.

That is cool, that you had one, I wish I could find a 91 or 2 that had everything this 87 has. I think back in 90 my buddy actually had the diesel version 4x4, that would be nice now. My son got the "honor" of his first vehicle being my 87 long bed D50, I usually say mightymax because I have seen people not get it that this was before the Dakotas... I loved that little PU, rode rough but I had AC, powersteering, and cruise, what else you need right? It still runs ok, should have about 100k on it, I bought it with less than 70k 7 years ago. I don't think I like Mitsu-engines, one day it smokes next day it doesn't. I dreamed of the Conquest/TSI engine swap when I 1st got it. but then again it was the only vehicle I had after major life changes.

Learn something new every day. Didn't know that bees coud be AI'd. No wonder they're more expensive that way, that'd be a tricky little operation :)

Ya think that's a tough one?

How about moth balls?

Yep.. when I lived in the States, I had Wal-mart change the oil.. I'd bring in the oil and filter and they'd charge $9 or $10 to do the grunt work and dispose of the old oil & filter.. Hard for them to screw it up if you watch them do it..
