Most quick-lube places are like that now. The one I take my Honda to tried to sell me two different kinds of oil flush and a fuel system treatment, last time I was there. I never buy any of that crap, especially not the oil flushes. (If there's crud sitting in obscure corners of the engine, the *last* thing I want to do is get it circulating around!) I don't let them touch my Vanagon, but I do wonder what they'd think- when I bring my Honda in they always make a big deal out of tsk-tsking about how dark the oil is, and try to sell me the oil flush. They'd probably have a heart attack over the nearly opaque black oil that comes out of the diesel. ;) _ _ Like Hairdressers, always got a product to endorse or retail - they are under the cosh to shift XXX units per week! I always look around the workshop etc (& around back) to see what my money will be paying for!) Vanorak
