Bulk vs. Bottled oil at places like Jiffy Lube

At least around here, as of a couple years ago (last time I checked)
if you went to your local Sears for an oil change, there was actually
a Jiffy Lube franchise within the Sears Auto Center. don't know if
that's changed or not.

Only times I have knowingly taken my car to a Sears Auto Center was
one time where I needed an alignment Right Away (they did an OK job)
and another time when I was on the road and needed an alternator Right
Away (also did an OK job, but was silly expensive and their supplier
sent them the wrong alternator first time around, making me lose about
a day of travel)

Can't tell you a thing about Sears, sorry. Bit it does sound like an
old story that's been repeated a lot. But I have seen a small
indpendent shop really screw up something as simple as reinstalling a
drain plug, so there are f...ups working everywhere. Fortunately they
are in the minority.

 

No oil pressure on startup for excessive amounts of time.
I changed the oil and a fram filter one day. On the first start
after the change, I thought it was ok..
But, the next day I started it and had no oil pressure.
And.. It wouldn't build up either.. I thought my oil pump
was out. I shut it off, and restarted, and it finally came up
to pressure after a few more seconds.
Yanked the filter, and replaced with a FL1A and never had
the problem again.
Orange fram filters and many six bangers don't play well
together.
