I'll add a recent tid bit about Van Cafe.  Stopped in there to have an
alternator put in about a week and a half ago, on my way home from BBTB.
Since the van was there I asked them to change the oil filter (I run
synthetic but change the filter every 3,000 miles or so).  The young
tech/mechanic working on my rig came up to the front of the store to find me
and check with me before topping off the oil after the filter change.  He
wanted to make sure he was putting in the right oil.  I told him I was
running Mobil 1 and that there was some in the cabinet beside the engine
compartment.  Very conscientious to check before just assuming I was running
the stock 20/50.  And later, when I checked the oil level, it was smack in
the middle of the 'dots', right where it should be.  I like that kind of
service. And oh yeah, I got one of those calenders too...
