Well, I took the car to the same local car wash/oil change place that I take my other cars...Here's some observations:
1. The car went through the car wash fine. I no longer have any concerns sending it through. The car looks great...like the way my other cars do, but....
2. I had them also change the oil in my Insight (They do the oil changes in my other vehicles as well.) They carried my oil filter, and they supplied a new crush washer...They were also aware of the the "delicate" oil pan, BUT, they didn't have the correct weight oil, so I supplied them with the oil (with a small discount for bringing my own oil). They also weren't used to "pouring" oil out of a container and spilled it all over :evil: ...It wasn't till I got back home and noticed some "smoking." It has been cleaned up. Next time, I'll ask that they use a funnel. :roll:
Well, there you have it...my experience with a car wash/oil change....FWIW :| [/list]
