Where are you buying your oil??? Mobil 1 is usually around 5-6 bucks a quart. You spent 13 and some change!!! Did you get your service done at a dealer?

If you are receiving this car new from the dealer, insist on a free oil change. It has been sitting for over a year on a truck, in a lot or on some showroom floor and has only been run a few times.

Then change your oil again at 1,000 or 1,500 miles to get the break-in 'gunk' out of the motor.

Enjoy the hell out of it!
