    Okay, I need to get an oil change (just realized that I've had my car for almost four years and don't remember ever getting one) and I don't know where to go. Don't say Wal Mart, and don't ever even consider taking your car there. Ever.

    I want like a real mechanic to check out my car and give quality service. Any tips

    Also, I recently started going to a school very far away (100 miles round trip, the route I take), what am I supposed to do to make sure my car stays okay even with all the driving and miles racking up. I have 166 thousand something already times about 500-600 miles a week for the foreseable future.

    Also also, just for fun, how many miles does your car have?

        Holy crap, do not wait 4 years to change your oil, its a pretty hassle-free procedure.

          I am surprised there is anything left but sludge. Amazing. 126,000 on my 2001 Honda Accord, now fully broken in.

            Get an oil change and change it AT LEAST every 3K miles from now on. Get a basic tune up and make sure the fluids are checked constantly. Even if you know jack shit about cars, you can do this.

                I say keep driving it and see how far you can go without one, your car obviously hasn't needed one yet.

                  4 years without an oil change! I recently change mine after 18 months and I thought I was a procrastinator.

                    Most cars can go at least 5-6 K miles. 3K miles is a waste. 4 years....you are lucky that thing is still running...
