They are ALL about the same. YOU get the choice off oil type an oil manufacturer at the best places. Bring your OWN filter and oil, and pay them $20 to change it for you!!! Otherwise, use Mobil One with a Mobil One filter. Oil treatments are nearly ALWAYS good for an engine. It removes sludge and carbon deposits frome ngine oil control rings and compression rings. Using CHEAP oil change bargain specials is the WRONG thing to do. SO many people get duped when it comes to oil change time, buy looking for the CHEAP route. A good synthetic lasts for a year or longer, and cleans while your drive, rather than making sludgy vapors, and acidic fumes. GOOD LUCK!!

Be worried, be VERY worried.
I'd NEVER let JipYouL00b, Pep Kiddies, Auto Zoo or any N00b L00b joint even shine my tires.
[No diss to good mechanics who work there]
JipYou crossed threaded the oil pan bolt in a simple oil/filter change on a VW Rabbit I know, and it cost the guy $300 to remove n replace the pan.
Have the name brand dealer, ie Ford car: Ford dealer, do all the regular maint including oil/filter changes.
Only they have the closely guarded database of updated diagnositic, maint & repair info; and they do the included multi-point inspection of the vehicle.
@ say $30, that's a super bargain and they lose $ on it.
