In addition to changing the oil, is there any other maintenance items that I should be doing while I have my garage clothes on?? Just wondering if there are some parts of the chasis that have to be lubed or greased or other small matters like that? I called my local dealer here in Toronto and asked the service gent there what I get for my $250 canadian....he simply said that they change the oil and do a "once over" on the vehicle.

Additionally does anyone use Mobil 1 5W 50 in their cars and is this safe for a once a month strart up in sub-zero temps during the canadian winters???? The local dealer here is recommending 0W 40 right across the board for all their oil changes but im finding it a bit of a scavenger hunt to locate the stuff outside the dealer.

Thanks.

Jeff.
