Synthetic Oil - TBM

[aztoy]

Don't know if any of you work in aerospace...but synthetics (Mobil) are the standard for jet engines, and have been for a long time. I only saw Mobile going into the fighters I flew. I'll leave it to you to reach your own conclusions.

With the local dealer charging $56 with a tire rotation (that I found out they install the wheels with an impact gun only...not on my truck!). So I'm off to Wally World from now on.

From what I've seen & read, Wal*Mart has a huge range of abilities (and attitude) among their workers. Be sure to check their work to see that they actually did install a new oil filter, that the drain plug is tight, and that they installed the oil you paid for. No way to tell if the drain plug is too tight, cross-threaded, or didn't bother with a gasket until it's too late. I'd bring in either a Toyota oil filter or Purolator Pure One filter and never let them use a Fram.
