I went to FM of Silicon Valley today to get some oil and oil filter for an upcoming oil change.
oddly, versus FM of San Francisco, FM of SV charges $39 for a filter vs $25.80 at San Francisco, and $2 for a crush washer vs $1 at San Francisco.
anyways, I was told that F/M is phasing out AGIP oil due to detergents in the oil which is causing lifter noise. They are currently selling Mobil 1, but wil shortly go to Shell Helix to consolidate with Ferrari. I am not quite sure if this is dealer specific, although it sounded like it.
I ended up just getting the filter as my Independent Shop stocks/uses Mobil1 only.
also heard that Kevin, Service Manager of FM of SF was let go. Seems like a lot of turnaround within the F/M Service field.
