One of the tech's even collected the "flush" Mobil 1 into a jug to use for himself I assume. Hahahah.

Yep, that's the video.
I did an anniversary "flush" on my Mazda 3 @ 50,000 miles using the same method. Dumped 3k old oil, poured in new Castrol EDGE Gold Bottle (rated for 15,000 miles) and drained it after a 15 min sprint around the block. Hahaha. Came out surprisingly dark. I felt good. Hope for another trouble free 50k miles.
