Default Man $80 oil change!

Goddamn money pit! 7 quarts + Mobile 1 shortage(Hurricane Ike) + arsesuckers = $81!

Hope the turbos can handle 10k miles between oil changes

Default DIY... x2

Not harder than any other car for us, just have that extra wind noise cover underneath.

DIY = alittle cheaper, and better peace of mind.
You know exactly what goes in and you dont have to worry about leaving the place with no oil in the car or missing any caps or filters (i've heard some serious oil change change stories).

Default that's the problem with $40K when new, used/old cars.

the maintenance does not get hit with depreciation like the price of the car does.
