I'll give some background as to why I'm at the dealership. My service engine light came on. I called onstar for them to run a diagnostic. They say that the code was for a misfire. Also the truck is idleing ruff. I had the same problem with the truck at 20k and I had to have the cylinder head...

That sucks. I'm only 2,500 miles on my RP and mobil1 filter oc.

I went in to my local wal-mart to get some mobil 1 green cap for my mom's car yesterday and picked a new 5 quart jug for $15 dollars. They had it listed for 23.50 on the shelf. I got to the check out and it rang up for just $15. I think I'll be going back and get some more real soon. :)
