Re: Months Or Miles, Whichever Comes First?
I store my Jeep over the winter, change the oil just before
storage. So come spring I needed a new battery. The garage tried to sell me an oil change even though it had only 100 miles on the oil and 2 or 3 engine starts.

Re: Months Or Miles, Whichever Comes First?
Thanks for all the replies. I was thinking of taking it to a
dealership out of town(roughly 50m away). They always get good ratings for their outstanding service! As far as myself doing it, no way! I'd just as soon roll it off a cliff, with me in the driver's seat! |
