$72 oil change

October 17th, 2008 at 02:54 pm

Dh took the new car in for it's first oil change. The cost was almost $72 because it uses synthetic oil. However, you only have to get the oil changed about every $10,000 miles.
Actually, this is the NEW yellow corvette. However, it will be 1 year old this week. (Oct. 19th) The car only has 3700 miles on it, but we decided that the oil should be changed at least once a year.
I, personally, have only driven the new corvette about 3 times. Why drive a yellow corvette, when you can drive a red corvette.
Dh, ordered a bunch of stuff from Eckler's to restore the blue corvette so he can take it to local car shows. It has a bad transmission leak. Dh is talented with old cars like the 78 vette.
We are a happy 3 vette family. (not to mention that we also have a 33 ford victoria and two work vans.)

    My dad the Silver Anniversary 78 Corvette, that was a nice one. DH and I have a 73 which I totally love because it is unique (chrome bumper on back only). Here in the Midwest DH is getting ready to put her away for the winter. Ours is blue and I would love vanity plates that read Blu By U! My lawyer brother has a teal 91 convertible which is a sight in and of itself. We've been to the museum in Bowling Green and I am pleased to share with you that my sons know the Cs up to C5.

    I have to use synthetic oil too, but hey my husband pays $42 every 3000 miles and I pay $72, every 10,000 miles... mine is cheaper in the end.

    mom, glad to know there is another corvette lover. Our blue one is tu tone blue. It was one of 16 that came into the dealership in primer and was painted with colors that were NOT corvette colors. My dh repainted it once and I still think it is the prettiest of the three.
