- Dealers will always blame the owner for problems unless it
- is VERY obvious. Back in 73 I bought a Vega GT and loved it
- till the first engine went at 14k, cost me $700 to get it
- inspected for the "etching" problem they had with the aluminum
- block, I ended up eating the motor even though it had a life
- time guarantee from Quaker State THEIR excuse was I didn't
- have the oil changes done at an "Approved" dealer ($35 a pop)
- I got my oil and filters at the Navy Exchange for $1.50 for
- the Fram filter and $.60 for the QUAKER STATE oil w/receipt.
- Well when the second engine went at 27k I took it to Motion
- Mini-car and had a 350/400hp w/t400 and detroit rear put in.
- It took me 10 years to buy a GM product again and I still havent
- touched QUAKER STATE products and will in fact go out of
- my way to avoid QUAKER STATE, GOODRICH, FIRESTONE and
- oxygenated fuels.
