Sent the wife down to the local Valvoline Instant Oil Change shop to have the oil changed in her new Hemi Ram. (3000 mile switch to synthetic and filter change).
Before you get on me for not doing it myself, I prefer not to service new cars while they're under warrantee. I would rather have all service done by "professionals" so I have iron clad proof of proper maintenance should a problem arise. (Been bitten by that one before) So.....
When I was done working on the 53 in the garage and had everything moved back into place so she could bring her truck in, I noticed a slight ticking noise coming from the engine as she pulled into the garage. Checked the oil level and they had shorted her 2 qts. of oil. Checked the receipt and sure enough they had only put 5 qts. in. The 5.7 ltr. hemi requires 7 qts.
The only saving factor was that she had good oil pressure the whole time (I trained her well) and only had to drive 1/2 mile home. Valvoline has a 100% satisfactory guarantee so needless to say I filled out the back of the receipt and sent it to corporate for a full refund ($54) this morning. The reason I'm not satisfied as stated in the provided space.... Service performed by idiots!
I guess, just like anything else if you want it done correctly... You have to do it yourself.
