What is the standard cheapest oil in these automotive service companies?
just the brand.
Sears
Firestone
Jiffy Lube
ez lube!
the prices and the type of oil they use for standard oil changes.

Wize Guy answers:
Jiffy Lube sells Pennzoil products only. ez lube sells a procuct I’d never use. Sears stores in this area has Valvoline, Monroe has Valvoline. Firestone sells anything that’s cheap.
Why don’t you seek-out a Texaco-Havoline or Mobil fast oil change joint. Mobil has regulat oil also, come to think of it, Mobil makes oil for Toyota which is sold in their dealerships in Toyota oil cans.
If you shop long enough you might save a few cents buying cheap oil but sooner or later it will bite you in the a*s.

Daniel asks…
Can you guide me in choosing an automotive battery charger?
My hubby asked for a battery charger for Christmas. I know he needs one for the lawn mower battery but also for the camper and boat. I know the battery on the camper is a deep cycle and the one on the boat is a marine battery (is that deep cycle too?) He mentioned something about keeping the battery maintained.
Is there a charger out there that I can get for both types of batteries? One that will also be a maintenance charger?
Or do I need to get one for the regular batteries and a second for the deep-cycle batteries?
I’ve tried looking at Sears, Northern and JC Whitney online but I don’t know what I’m looking for. I’d like to stay under $200, if possible.
Thanks in advance for any advise.

Wize Guy answers:

Lizzie asks…
Is Sears in the wrong?
In Feb I went to Sears automotive because my car was making a grinding noise. They thought it was the brakes but later told me that it was my ac compressor. They said they could fix it for me, but their recharger machine was broken so I would have to take it to get recharged at Pep boys when it got hot…Well now it is hot and I take my car into Pep Boys and they can’t get the ac to blow as cool as it should so they check the car out to find that when Sears replaced my ac compressor they did not change the receiver drier. This is apparently standard to do together. So since they did not change the receiver drier my new compressor is on it’s way out, but maybe in two months ( which is when my warranty ends)… I talk to sears and they say we are not an ac place so maybe it is standard for them to change them together but we don’t do ac’s . I am thinking ok so if you are not qualified to do something correctly why did you even touch it. I could of went somewhere else.. So to make a long story short. I paid $800 to change a compressor 4 months ago that is already on it’s way out so I will be paying another 800 dollars because they didn’t change the receiver drier which is standard to change, and their only excuse is that they don’t do ac’s how were they suppose to know…
LOL no I thought I posted this under business
