Hey you guys-

Thanks for all the help! I really appreciate your caring enough to leave me such detailed comments!  Oil is in fact a huge deal with my baby car... it totally guzzles it. Thanks for all the help!

True, but it's always good to maintain your oil no matter how new it is... they dry up too.   A lot of guys crack jokes about how women never check their oil because it's the basis of so many of our car problems.   We get shafted when we go to the mechanic, when all we really needed was to maintain our oil...

Sometimes it's just better and cheaper to trade it off.

p.s. also, the oil change guys
let you know if somethings going on under your hood that you should know about BEFORE you get to the mechanic... that's why I'd rather go to them and pay the extra instead of trying to change my own oil.

How often do you get an oil change?
We women have a tendency to let it run dry, but I've found that if I change the oil before or on time... I have no worries, mon.   When it starts acting funny and then I check my milleage, I realize that I let it go a little too long...

Sounds bad for your car
especially the check engine light.  Last time mine came on it cost me $700 for the repair (of course,  I managed to ignore the light for about 6 months until the car refused to move first).  I wish getting older meant getting a new car, mine is just aging with me.
