drained the transmission oil and over filled the engine on 4 customers cars
in a 2 year period and they paid to have them repaired. The local VW dealer
did this with a Galant trade-in they had and sent it down to us to figure out
why the trans was slipping. Oh and that recommendation that you should use
the OEM filters applies to Japanese brands also.>>

We took the EuroVan to the dealer last week to get the rounded drain plug
removed.  Jiffy lube admitted they put it in too tight the last time, and
said they would pay to have it removed.  The dealer also wanted an extra $50
to remove the non OEM filter since it didn't have the nut on the top.

We only take the EV to Jiffy since my brother in law runs most of them in the
midwest.  I used to bring my own filter, but Jiffy lube started stocking
them.  Now I guess I'll start bringing my own again.
