Can anyone recommend a reliable place to get an oil change on Vancouver Island? I am sure I have seen this on here before, but I couldn't find any references in a search. I am just visiting for a couple weeks but need an oil change soon.
Thanks.

Re: Oil change on the Island
The driveway is relatively convenient and the staff knows you.
Okay, but seriously, it's nice to have a set of ramps and a pan. Other than that, find someone who has done it before, or show up with the correct filter (or number) - otherwise, I've heard some stories of cross-threaded filters.

Re: Oil change on the Island
If you're in Victoria, PM me and I can show you where to do what... I notice your 'location' indicates NFA: are you up-there on the Island or down-here?borealtransition wrote:Yeah I know I should really learn how to do it myself.
