Oil changed today
I just had the oil changed today in my 05 c6,was there anything else I should have done?
It was the first oil change ,and I didn't have the luxury of time to go to the dealer for this.They checked the differental and all the fluids.I was in and out in 10 minutes,and only cost me $57.00.
I stopped in a texaco oil change shop,they had the mobil one.

Smart move. Cultivate the guy's at the local quick lube. Soda, pizza. It will pay off in the long run.

If it's a Z51 not a bad idea to lube the grease fittings on each end of the rear sway bar at each oil change.

I bring a pizza and soda for the guys and drop off a 6 pack every so often. They take great care of me and the car. They change the oil and the procharger fluid every 5,000 miles for me.
