Default SD oil question...

Can anybody recommend a trusted place for tranny/motor oil/differential oil change?

I do the wrenching myself, but don't have the tools/place to do it here in SD.

Appreciate the help.

The Chevron on Sweetwater Rd. off the 805 South. It's in National City. I took my car there because I couldn't change my oil (long story). I think I paid $56 for Mobil 1 syn. Fluids checked and topped off too...But I think most places do that already.

I am pretty sure I'm moving to Mira Mesa soon so you can do it there if/when I move.

Local shop quoted $100 for tranny/diff/oil change.

They supply dino oil for tranny/diff (though I run redline) and I will have to supply my own Mobil 1 Synthetic for the motor oil.

This is for a Turbo Miata. The Cooper S goes to the dealer for free changes.

I would go to Habibs Lube and Tube on Euclid and Hawthorne. The most honest shop in town.
