Default free extended performance 15k Mobil One oil change!

how?
do exactly what i did last night.....

go to oil change place other than the dealer itself.
thing is,
you can not know about the canister...hahahaha..and make sure they too..don't kno about this.
that oil change place will drained the old oil from your car without knowing that they're not able to replace the canister.
they'll end up cancel it..and give your request..for free!!
hahahaha..

yesterday, thats exactly what happened to me,
and as i said above...you can not know about the canister, otherwise...
that would be a big time cheating.
in this case,
if you read this post and still wants to do it,..
then you are a cheater...

the manager of that place told me that it's my lucky day because he will not charge me the expensive Mobil One
..since they can not replace the canister.
i felt bad..i was gonna give him some kind of tip,
but he said no.

oh well.... (sorry typing is very bad..its now 4am sunday morning)

What the heck do you mean by 'canister'?
Do you mean the oil filter?

If they couldn't figure out how to replace the "cannister", they probably grabbed the Pennzoil 40w hose by mistake.

the guys at that oil change place said that word..."Canister"..or "Cannister"..or what ever it supposed to be, instead of Oil Filter.

thats what my NB use for the oil..instead of regular oil filter.

well..let me just said where the place then, maybe some people here knows too..,
it's the WalMart Lube express.


So far, i went to 2 different WalMart Lube Express and compare to some other oil change shops,
this place use oil straight from their bottle inventory..not by hose.

at Walmart,
you have the chance to watch next to the car..of how they do the oil change process.
this way we can tell them stuff that they not supposed to do with the car,
like adding coolant or something.
(I don't know much about Beetle yet..but i've been dealing VW engine for 16 years.. )

and last nite they did put the Extended 15k Mobil One as i requested, ......minus the filter of course...
