Entries with tag "mitsubishi"

I have yet to have an easy, straightforward oil changing experience with my dealer. A previous entry discusses my last attempt to get my oil changed, requiring a total of three visits before they finally accepted my car. It seems each time you go, they give you one more small bit of information, and little by little you try to piece together all the clues that theoretically should eventually enable you to achieve a straightforward transaction. There is always such a rift between theory and practice, though.

Isn't having your oil changed supposed to be easier than doing it yourself? Ugh. My car was 800 miles overdue for an oil change. Normally I'd do it myself, but the Evo comes with a free "PitPass™" maintenance contract which includes oil change (with Mobil1 Synthetic, which is better but significantly more expensive than dino oil), tire rotation, 27-point inspection, car wash, and vacuum; so I figure I'll make use of that as long as I have it. Also, there was a service bulletin pending on my car so I needed to bring it in anyway.
