looking to get this done tomorrow in the early afternoon/morning. The closer to the southtowns the better.

I don’t like going to monroe or any of those oil change shops unless I know the person working on the car… I’m anal about it.

thanks,

Of course. I hate reading stuff at that bob is the oil guy site, but reading all the cliff notes of people who live for that stuff on [ls2gto.com](http://ls2gto.com) I made the switch. Lots of people weren’t happy when Mobil 1 made the switch from all syn base, or no syn base… something. Like I said, I can’t stand reading that and have no interest in learning it. I’m more than happy to watch the oil nuts debate it for pages and pages and go with their recommendations. 🙂

That an AC Delco PF46 filter, or Napa Gold (which is a rebranded WIX).
