Thumbs down Wal-Mart's High Quality Oil Change Service



Since my brother and his fiancee have been down for the weekend, we've been riding around in her '96 Camry. Every time we'd stop at a light or to get out of the car, we'd smell burning oil-- pretty strong. She says it's been like that for a week or so. So I tell her I'll check it out for her. After quickly looking, I didn't notice any oil on the the front of the motor or smoke, so I decide that if it is burning oil that bad for that amount of time, it would probably show up on the dipstick so I decide to check oil level first. I go to pull up the dipstick and guess what.... The trained professional wal-mart mechanics left the stinking oil cap off the valve cover and all the oil was splashing out onto the motor. Then I notice oil all over the area of the motor close to the valve cover. She was about 2 quarts low. Well at least these trained professional mechanics we gracious enough to leave her the oil cap (sitting on the engine--glad it didn't fall off).

Things like this is what irritates Fox Body. Fox Body mad. Fox Body wanna give them a piece of Fox Body's mind. But Oh well, I just added more oil. She can yell at them if she wants to. It's her car.
