1998 Chevy Malibu, 3.1 V6, 214K Miles
This is my g/f's friends car. My g/f asked me to check the fluids under the hood of her friends Chevy Malibu. The oil was very very black and smelled like gas. When it dripped from the dipstick it dripped like water, not thick at all. And, the car had not been run for 3 days.
She said that she lets Jiffy Lube change the oil. From the looks of the filter I bet JL probably has not changed the oil filter in awhile, if ever! She said she has to add a qt. of oil about every 2K miles.
So, I was thinking of doing a 3K mile OCI cleaning with some PYB 10W30 and a Purolator L10111 oil filter. Opinions?
