Is it best to get an oil change (synthetic if it matters) at a Valvoline-type place or a more independent-type shop? Does it make much of a difference?

Make sure to have them change your brake light fluid while you are there. Should be done the same time.

As long as they use a torque wrench and they aren't grease monkeys winging it, it shouldn't make any difference. All my cars are vintage and I change my own oil, but it's honestly really simple...a few nuts and gaskets and that's it.

Depends. There are independent shops that are pretty good and charge way less than franchise type ones, but there are ones that suck too. Check the reviews before you go to any shop!

My husband is a mechanic. The valvoline and jiffy lube type places pay barely above minimum wage and have high turnover so you have a decent chance that the person doing your oil change is a 16 year old on his third day there. A trustworthy independent shop is worth its weight in gold, but there are bad ones too. Best advice is to ask around and read reviews on independent shops in your area.

Look up Yelp reviews for independent shops. My car is nearly out of warranty and I've already scouted - through Yelp and word of mouth - reputable independent shops.

Just do it yourself, its cheaper and you will know it was actually done. Too many stories of shady oil change places not changing oil/filters to warrant that risk.

Depends on the car.

Check that they actually did the oil change when you are done. It should be clear goldish color

@ PwC 4: come on, not everyone will get that. 😂

Do it yourself - its a simple process and then you know it's done right.

Last week I had to explain to my child what “politics” (as in office politics) is. My child is going to a new high school and wants to play volleyball. There was a 3 day open “tryout” for incoming freshman for 2 teams. After the first day, she noticed that
1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.
