Looks like they use a lot of Castrol and havoline.
But I don't actually know.
They get their oil from a big tank.

I wouldn't use this for anything other than a car you would normally bring to any quickie lube place?

You can always call them and ask?

Nah I was just curious. It's a good price if its a beater or whatever. I like doing my delSols oil change though.
I heard of a place in Hamilton doing this as well. Couple of the people I work with do it just so they can get their winters swapped for free.

Yeah.
20 for an oil change is a good price.
Plus they will swap tires which is great!
I can do the swap. I'm just too damn lazy! Lol!

I went there before. They often have $20 oil change and inspection deals on that livingsocial website.
The last time I went, I'm 99% sure that they re-used my oil bolt washer. after a couple days it started dripping. Bolt was tight, but it dripped.
So in the end, I had to drain the oil myself, clean the bolt, put on a new washer, and then put the oil back in. It worked, but what a PITA.
I got track tires put on the ITR rims at the same time and it was just a nightmare and the paint on my rims got messed up bad from those monkeys trying to get the bald A048's off. I mean... stiffer sidewalls ya, but nobody there could get a 15" deflated tire off of the rim without f'ing it up. All 4 rims got choched and the guy says... oh sorry about that. those tire were tough to get off.

So, it might be a good idea to give them a bolt washer and better filter if you get your oil changed there.

I remember a story about someone having their oil filter bounce along behind them, leaving a trail of motor oil as the engine drained its life blood. They had just been to one of those quick lube places.
