10246 is the part number for the Fram oil filter, “COR” might identify the product line. Page 72 is where the information was found in the catalog. 4.2 quarts is the amount oil engine oil used; page 52 is where the amount was found in the reference guide. Technicians need to make these notations incase a customer starts looking for a fight about their oil change. ---

It says “don’t go to Walmart” - like for anything. But seriously, this is your second post about some perceived faux pas on the part of Waltmart. I’m not going to defend them and I doubt anyone here would suggest using them even for something as simple as an oil change (the subject of your other post on this matter). But what’s your deal? This is becoming like spam-trolling. ---

You sound like someone that needs a job that you like and you’re good at. None of this would bother you if you had an outlet for that energy. ---

You do get points for changing oil though. ---

> [@itouring2010](#): > > it should bother anyone that gets an oil change to read there is “oil leak pts” and yet nobody talked to you about the comments?? Short answer: no. You went to Walmart for an oil change. You did not go to a mechanic for an inspection or diagnoses. They did what you paid them for. ---

> [@eddo](#): > > You did not go to a mechanic for an inspection or diagnoses. They did what you paid them for. +1 Expecting the guys at Walmart to provide an expert automotive diagnosis is the automotive equivalent of expecting the clerk at CVS to provide expert medical advice when you pick up your prescription. ---

Heh heh. My wife was on trip for a couple weeks. I bought a couple pairs of cargo pants at Walmart and was very proud of myself. When I showed my wife she said we don’t buy our clothes at Walmart. I wear those pants for changing my own oil so as not to waste money by throwing the pants away. I don’t buy eggs or batteries, etc. at Walmart either. ---

I’m going to defend Walmart here. Take note as I normally would not defend them, more likely I would bash them. Walmarts auto service department is like any other service department, it is only as good as the manager/supervisor. I have a lot of complaints about my local Walmart and I let them know, although my constructive criticism is not always as welcome as I had hoped it would be, but the supervisor of their service department is very good. I buy tires from them and never had an issue. I do my own oil changes but if for some reason I can no longer do them myself, I would use my local Walmart before I would use a lot of other chain oil change places. BTW, the local Sams club will not allow me into their tire department because they really did not appreciate the free training I was offering them and a local tune up shop actually called the police on me when we had a difference of opinion about their competence. ---

> [@keith](#): > > Walmarts auto service department is like any other service department, it is only as good as the manager/supervisor. I have to agree with you on that point. About 15 years ago, a very alert officer from my town’s PD decided to investigate when he saw a car parked in back of the local J-Lube, long after closing hours. He found the store’s manager–and an employee–enjoying some “nose candy”, and he promptly arrested them. The store remained closed for a couple of weeks until the owners could find a new guy to manage it. Anyway, to return to your point… even though I wouldn’t patronize J-Lube, I don’t assume that _all_ of their managers and employees are drug abusers. ---

> [@keith](#): > > Walmarts auto service department is like any other service department, it is only as good as the manager/supervisor. I would also agree, though would generally still make the generalizations largely on the basis that large chains don’t pay very well - at the management or tech level. So just in a general sense, you’re likely to find less than the “cream of the crop” in such places. ---

Walmart disposes old tires for $2. And take my used oil. ---

> [@itouring2010](#): > > gets an oil change to read there is “oil leak pts” and yet nobody talked to you about the comments?? I expect that comment is required by the shop’s legal folks , used to document there’s a pre-existing oil leak, for which the shop isn’t responsible. Almost all cars over 3 or 4 years old have small oil leaks , my guess most of their invoices include this comment.
