    I agree with Ron Haugen! We use the same parts matrix for all parts, both dealer and jobber. %50% to 52 % on all except batteries and tires. Did you know the dealer are often times quoting a lower Retail price to us versus what they retail the part through their service department.

    Tony,I was at just at a CAm2 oil seminar last nite. I asked many times what their recommendationm was oil change.

    They assured me 5000 miles @ 3 months would be fine for their standard semi synthetic ILSAC GF5 oil. They did suggest that the full syntheic super max oils were good for 15,000 miles.

    They now provide free oil analysis so we can get our own feel for this? The standards are confusing even for us! On other fluids, I use color and smell more than the scheduled interval.
