The state of California knows better than everyone else

Actually Bill, on this issue, I think the story (and the State) is right.

The lube places (and many dealerships) do advise ill-informed customers to do way too much on their daily drivers.

Had a moron at a Chevy dealership "advise" me that I needed to change my oil since it had been over 3,000 miles since my last change. Also advised me that I needed to rotate my tires.

Hmmm...2005 C6 Vette using Mobil 1 and different sized (front to rear) unidirectional tires.

I think you are both correct. Almost daily Jack has someone with a new car come in and want their oil changed and the tires rotated. He tells them to follow the manual and that with todays oils and engines they don't need to be changed every 3K miles and the tires are directional. Most of them don't even know what he is talking about. It has been a long time since I have had a new car, but don't they still have a maintenance schedule where you take the car back to the dealer to have that stuff done?
Jamo, you have a ways to drive now that Turk is in Florida.
