is it true they don't sell mobil1 0w40 at costco too.. man....

anyhow the car's been in the garage for 3 months and only 3000 miles since its last change but everyone's suggesting i do it cause the previous owner had it sitting there.

You might want to add more than 4 qts of oil. Check your manual. My local dealer wants $450 for a 15k service which is a glorified oil change and safety inspection. They have not earned my business.
