Default Be careful! Iffy Lube is famous for "losing" half your bellypan fasteners.

... that way when you bring it to the grease monkeys next time, it only takes half as much time to remove.......

Default Well, my iffy lube was famous for not changing the filter and still charging you for it. Stay away!

I know it is the only option sometimes, just be careful!!!

Default Heh. I've seen audi techs wipe the filter with a rag so it's shiny and new looking........

It is a 15k kilometer filter. Supposedly. But. *shrugs* I trust noone but me to work on my car.

At least on ours the filter is up top and isn't in a canister. It's obvious when they don't change the filter.. theres no break in the dust on the black cover from the wrench used to untwist it.

Default If I'm not mistaken that is a good group IV or even V oil. If it says BMW LL-01 it is an A+ oil...

and would be top quality base stock. Don't be fooled by the Union 76. They make alot of stuff for trucks so their oil are made for heavy-duty diesel/loads. Good stuuf I think.
