well ive had my car for about a month and have 2900mi on it so im just about due for an oil change. where is a good place to go in san jose for an oil change and service. ill give up my first born before i goto jiffylube. i was thinking subaru stevens creek but i hear they suck. please let me know.

 

your not able to do it yourself?

 

I, too, live in San Jose, but I had my first oil change done at MPJ Performance in Fremont. I had it done at 3,750 miles. I'm due for my 7,500 service and plan to go back there real soon.

I had a horrible financing experience at Stevens Creek Subaru, so I vowed not to go there for service.

 

This is something you need to do yourself. Its very simple and thats the only way you KNOW that it is done correctly.

Please do not go to Jiffy Lube. You can pay me $40 and I will do it for you, Im running low on cash, I'll use the correct grade oil, I wont overfill your oil and strip your drain plug

 

Don't go to Steven's Creek for anything.

Have Gino at GB Motorsports do it for ya.

I don't usually change my own oil because I dislike having to dispose of the used oil.

 

best place??? in your drive way. oil changes are pretty much DIY.

btw, steven's creek gets 99% bad reviews on the boards.

 

+1 for do it yourself

but if u have to get it done @ a shop talk to MPJ (510.226.8822)

 

its pretty easy to do it yourself, i had a friend do it for me the first time and it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be.

Most garbage companies take away the used oil. All I have to do is keep a few empty gallon jugs (must have a screw on top) and use those every time I do an oil change.

 

He may live in an apartment or something where he can't change his own oil. I'd take it to any performance shop that deals with Subarus.

Gruppe-S, Speed Element, AutoHQ etc. are all in your area.

 

Anyone know why Mobil-1 is 5.79 a f*cking quart?? I thought that stuff was SYNTHETIC not real oil

 

Buy the 5 Gallon Jugs at Walmart

 

+1 for 5g jugs at Walmart!!!! last time i got some it was like $22? somewhere around there

only bad part is that my car takes 4.28g some wierd number like that.

 

Go to AutoHQ in Redwood City. Great guys there and the owner was a chief tech at Carlson Subaru.

 

True, although when I lived in my apartment, I would just go to a friend or family members driveway to do it. If I do it myself, it justifies paying through the nose for Redline oil :P
Im not so sure its a FULL synthetic blend....but it is a good proven oil
