I'll add to what Rugby3 said about Jiffy Lube. When I was in the Navy and stationed in Long Beach my neighbors wife took in their new Jeep to have the oil changed at Jiffy lube. It was like 15 miles down the road. When she pulled in it was running like crap, and smoking.

We found out why. They did NOT put an oil filter on it, nothing just a hole with a bit of oil dripping out.

You get what you pay for, so beware. That's why I do mine myself, or if I was in a bind for time I would take it to the dealer.

By the way, on the Jeep it took 6 months and a lawyer to finally get Jiffy lube to pay up on a new motor.

I ran a Honda Accord with no oil for almost 3 miles a few years ago and it still ran fine lmao. Seriously, the oil plug was knocked off and all the oil drained out. You could see the trail of oil down the road, then a BIG spot of oil at a Shell station lol, then a smaller trail of oil going the back the other way lmao. The car was sold after that incident of course .
