Well we're here for you Barb! There are few on this site I enjoy more than you! You're honest and transparent and have shown your tenacity in your engine swap - a feat one in ten thousand guys has even attempted, much less finished as well as you have! This give you some real credibility in the car world and you have every right to be more than a bit "miffed" at the local yokel trying to rip off a friend.

My local Ford dealer may be an exception - but I have the oil in my Expedition changed there every 5,000 miles. Oil, filter, top the fluids, vacuum the interior and wash the exterior for $29 bucks with every fifth one free! My dealer's service stays open until midnight as well so I can stop just about anytime and they change the oil while I wait (and drink their coffee). Might go with your lady friend and check out the dealer and see if they're a good fit for her.

In the mean time, please know that I (like the rest of the "guys") on this site have nothing but a great deal of respect and admiration for you. Your hubby is one lucky guy!!

Regards,
Glenn
