Went to jiffy lube Tuesday had to have an engine flush and oil change on a 95 Beretta. The oil was brown so took it to Jiffy Lube, the mechanics acted like they had never seen a Beretta before there was 4 different people working on it...
Ever since then the car has been overheating. What should I do?How many mechanics does it take to do an engine flush and an oil change?HI
first thing I'd do is check the oil and make sure they put enough back in.... Then check you coolant level. with the motor cold the coolant should be all the way to the top of the radiator (don't check it at the overflow tank) or no more than 1%26quot; from the top.. if its low add coolant.
good luck
tim
P.S. Don't take it to Jiffy Lube. they are really unskilled people. There are lots of letters stating that they forgot to put oil back in or didn't put in enough in.
good luck
timHow many mechanics does it take to do an engine flush and an oil change?Try to get your money back but never take your car to a place like that again. They are NOT mechanics. They are people they hire off the street,for minimum wage and %26quot;train%26quot; themselves.
They probably have never seen a Beretta. Most of them probably never been under a car before they started working there.How many mechanics does it take to do an engine flush and an oil change?1How many mechanics does it take to do an engine flush and an oil change?First off, you should not ever go to %26quot;JiffyLube ever again.
These people are clearly %26quot;Morons%26quot;. Do you think or believe that these people are pre-trained or certified ? Upon hiring the manager has these boys sit in front of a tv and watch how oil changes are done period. No Foreman ever trains these boys how to do oil changes or anything else.
I worked for this company and the previous owner Pennzoil sold them for way too many negligent lawsuits. I watched a spanish guy put winshield washer in a ladies power steering unit. I said what are you going to do now? He the manager stated to me that let her take it out, if she returns we will state %26quot;how do we know you didnt do it%26quot; I said I quit. I went over to A dealership 10 mies away and was hired on the spot.
Anywhere you take your car, I know your make by heart, If boy's %26quot;so called men%26quot; start looking at your car or you like Wow, take your car and say I want my keys and leave now.
Unskilled, Horn dogs you dont want working on your car.I would not be able to know what they did to your car, But %26quot;negligence is number one on their list, So, I would take in upon myself to another mechanic certified and get an estimate.

These models are equipped with an oiling system indicator lamp which will flash if the oil level drops below a safe point or will remain lit when the oil and filter are ready to be changed.
After changing the oil and filter, reset the monitor by proceeding as follows:
Turn ignition On, but do not start engine.
Fully depress and release accelerator pedal three times within five seconds.
If CHANGE ENGINE OIL lamp flashes for five seconds, this indicates system has reset.
Start engine. OIL LIFE should change to 100%.

How often do I really need to get an oil change?
I drive a 2007 Hyundai Elantra, and I would guess most of my mileage comes from highway driving. I don't usually drive in hilly areas or on unpaved roads. So is it really necessary for me to get an oil change every 3000 miles? What's a good rule of thumb?How often do I really need to get an oil change?I tell my customers they're okay if they change their oil and oil filters every 3500 to 5000 miles based on which type of vehicle they drive, but the real answer is that you must follow the specifications and maintenance schedule given in your owners' manual. This is important for warranty purposes. Is it really necessary? No. Is it a good rule of thumb? Yeah. That's why that cute, little book is in your glove box.How often do I really need to get an oil change?Your owners manual should outline the specific intervals for your vehicles requirements. Changing oil every 3K miles isn't always needed or a standard. I do my Sentra every 5K.How often do I really need to get an oil change?My dealer on my 98 Toyota recommends 5,000 miles.How often do I really need to get an oil change?if you use fossil fuel (non-synthetic), keep to the 3000 (give or take) mile rule. if you use syntethic, you can easily get 5000+ miles safely.How often do I really need to get an oil change?Your owner's manual may give different intervals based on your driving habits. You might get as much a 7500 miles if you do a bunch of highway driving. Don't waste your money with the 3000 mile recommendation. It might be a little better for your engine, but probably won't make enough of a difference to be worth it.How often do I really need to get an oil change?I change mine every 3000 miles, no matter synthetic or not.
synthetic does last longer though, but my 4x4 gets beetHow often do I really need to get an oil change?To maintain the warranty (100,000 mile drivetrain), ya gotta do what the manufacturer recommends. Other than the warranty, the other answers were right about the 5,000 mile oil change.How often do I really need to get an oil change?Most likely, your Hyundai is still under warranty, so I'd stick with what the owners manual says. If you aren't sure, just stick with the 3 months/3000 mile change interval. After the warranty is expired, you can go to whatever you like. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to go 4-5000 miles on each change but it is better for your engine to stick with the normal interval. I change my truck's oil every 3000 miles and it has over 157,000 miles on it so I must be doing something right.
Hope this helpsHow often do I really need to get an oil change?It depends, smaller vehicles can last longer but don't go past 5k bigger vehicles like my Chevy Blazer I do it at 3k, in general though the best would be 3k for any vehicle

How often do I need an oil change and tune up?
I have a 97 Acura 2.5 TL. How often do I need an oil change? how often do I need a tune up? Is there anything else I need to be doing on a regular basis? I know nothing about cars. This is my first one.How often do I need an oil change and tune up?Let's break it down:
OIL AND OIL FILTER CHANGE -- Your owners manual will tell you to get your oil changed at a certain interval, but they give a %26quot;one size fits all%26quot; answer. It depends on your driving habits. If you do mostly stop-and-go driving or short trips where the engine doesn't run continuously for at least 20 minutes, change your oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first. If you do mostly highway driving or longer trips, you can get away with every 6 months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first.
TUNE-UP: You shouldn't need an honest-to-goodness tune-up until the car hits 100,000 miles. Spark plugs and wires are designed to last a lot longer nowadays, and electronic ignition systems have replaced the old distributor caps and rotors that used to wear out after a year or so.
TIRE ROTATION: Have the tires rotated every 6,000 miles or so. This will even out the treadwear. Make sure to check the air pressure in the tires every month too. There should be a sticker inside the well of the driver's door that lists the tire pressure for all four tires (usually 35 PSI).
AIR FILTER REPLACEMENT: Replace at least once a year, twice a year if you do the stop-and-go or short-trip driving a lot. A lot of people neglect air filters and they're making a big mistake. It's cheap insurance to keep your engine running.
WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE REPLACEMENT: No time frame on this, just replace them when you notice they're not working well anymore.
FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER: It's a good idea to put a bottle of good-quality fuel injector cleaner like Valvoline fuel injector cleaner in your gas tank once or twice a year. Wait until your tank is almost empty, then put the fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank BEFORE you start filling up.
The rest of the important stuff like brakes, belts, fuel filters, etc., should be covered in the Owners Manual.How often do I need an oil change and tune up?For oil changes, most recommend 3 months or 3,000 miles, but you can safely go longer. However, oil is the cheapest investment you can make. It is the number one thing you can maintain to keep your car running a long time.
The next item would be your air filter, that should be changed at least once a year, more often if you drive in dusty conditions. Air pressure is important too, you should check that every time you fill with gas. Under inflated tires waste gas and wear down more.
Most oil change places do a safety check, including the tire pressure and air filter, they will tell you when something needs to be done.
As far as tune ups, the newer cars don't really need them unless it is not running right. Spark plugs is your biggest thing, and they can last a couple years easy.How often do I need an oil change and tune up?well here is something that i learned go in every 6 months to get a oil change and every 10 months to get a tune up. just to keep good maintance on the car. my bestfriend works for a car place where he does all that. so that is what he told me to do. so good luckHow often do I need an oil change and tune up?You need to change your oil every 3 mths or 3ooo miles which ever comes first. Your tune up is based on how you are driving the vehicle. Also check the fluid level transmission etc. I work for a car warranty company this what i advise people all day. When you get your tune up let them check timing belts etc. Read your manufacture guideHow often do I need an oil change and tune up?You need an oil change? Wait, you probably meant the car... every 3months or 3,000 miles. Take it to a local shop and develop a relationship (no not that kind) with your mechanic. He'll let you know when and if you need a tuneup, or any other maintenence besides the standard lube oil and filter.
He'll also rotate your tires every 15k or thereabouts, and he'll do a major fluid flush every 60k or thereabouts.

How much should I expect to pay for an oil change and new front and rear brakes on my motorcycle?
I have a 1994 Suzuki Intruder 800. I bought it earlier this summer, probably should have gotten this done already but havn't. How much should I expect to pay for an oil change and also for front and rear brakes?How much should I expect to pay for an oil change and new front and rear brakes on my motorcycle?avarage $200 , depends on where you live also if you have connections with a private mechanic
How much should I expect to pay for an oil change and new front and rear brakes on my motorcycle?way more than you might think sorry ... do it yourself way cheaper and then you know how to care for it all in the same time... best you learn how to keep it running when you can do most of it yourself oil and brake is right so easy as tune up is.....call the dealer and get a shock... then go dealer and pick up new brake pads and oil and filter.. i can see your face now... saying how much you say what the How much should I expect to pay for an oil change and new front and rear brakes on my motorcycle?For parts you can estimate around $20 for the oil and filter.
Maybe around $90 to $150 for pads. Of course, those estimates vary depending on the price markup and the brand that is used for these parts.
So, for parts you have, let's say; around $120. Most shops charge in the $50-$75/hour labor range. Let's go with something in the middle; $60/hour.
The oil change will take about 1/2 hours ($30 labor). The pads shouldn't take much more than one hour ($60).
So, add that up. $120 parts plus $90 labor gives up a bill of about $210.
Both are pretty easy to do yourself. A few internet searches should provide you with some good helpful hints on doing the job yourself.
Good luck. Ride safe.How much should I expect to pay for an oil change and new front and rear brakes on my motorcycle?These are definitely do it yourself tasks. It's easy too because it's the same process as changing the oil %26amp; filter on a car. Same as brakes. Wrenching is just as enjoyable as riding.

Is an oil change really needed or can it wait another week?
Ok, I drive an small size SUV and my maintenance light came on which indicates an oil change is needed. However, I checked to see how low it marked on the metal stick and it was a hair above the second bump. Can I hold off doing an oil change until fri of next week or should I do one today? I don't want to ruin my engine, but at the same time I don't have the money to get it serviced this week. By the way, I dive approximately 108-ish miles daily. Please advise.Is an oil change really needed or can it wait another week?the oil doesnt need to be changed unless it has been over 4 months or 5,000 miles. its ok to wait a week. but if you check the oil and it is low then you should add oil to the engine if your gunna wait over a week to change the oil. low engine oil may potentially cause problems to the engineIs an oil change really needed or can it wait another week?If it's been less than 5000 miles since the oil was changed, go ahead and wait a week.Is an oil change really needed or can it wait another week?sounds like you change oil regularly so waiting a week shouldn't hurt.Is an oil change really needed or can it wait another week?U better get it done right now before the motor blows up. Just kiddin, it won't know the difference if u wait.Is an oil change really needed or can it wait another week?As long as it's not 'low' on oil you will be OK.Is an oil change really needed or can it wait another week?first off that metal stick thingy ma bob that you are talking about is actually called a dipstick, it is not for gaugeing when you need an oil change it is for checking your oil level. In order to do this accurately you need to wipe the oil off and stick it back in and pull it out. The second %26quot;BUMP%26quot; is where the oil should be. FRI next week would be 8 days so 864 miles shouldn't hurt it.Is an oil change really needed or can it wait another week?yes you can wait a week!! 500miles more will not hurt your motor, if you are scared that it will add oil refresher, like motor honey oil, this will add to your viscosity that has broken downfind homes for sale2 bluetooth portable memory
