Holy crap! My oil change on my truck cost me 80 bucks.

:crackup: :rollin:

Yeah, I was a little surprised the first time I paid for an oil change on my truck. It holds more than most vehicles I had had up to that point. AND synthetic was "GM recommended" or something like that.

Oil's cheaper than engine repairs. :thumbs:

You should see what they charge for a DMax
ONE TIME since I have had this, I had a Valvoline Quick Change done, because I was out of town, and over due...$139 and I did not even get the fuel filter done.

Never again, plus I don’t trust anyone :D2

Most quick lube bays won't do the fuel filter... According to my dealership, that's a mechanics job, now, lol.

And they charge like $50 if I supply the oil, lol.

Call & bitch. See if you can get it for free! :D2
I tried, lol. Canada no longer has a CDMA/2G phone network, which is why the upgrade is needed, lol.

Does your remote start work more than twice with the app?

as long as you use it at least once during the free trial when you buy, it will work for key fob for 5 years regardless whether you pay for the service.

Oh. In that case, get a new truck! :jester: :lol:

More than twice? In a row, you mean? :dunno: I've only ever had it cycle off once or twice and I'm usually ready to go by then. :lol:

Yes... But I can't use the free trial, lol. No service right now... Without the hardware upgrade, there's no OnStar service in Canada for any vehicle older than 2015ish.

Interest rates made it not worth trading the truck off, lol.

Yes, in row, lol. When you use the actual key fob to remote start, you only get two cycles, then you need to use the key before you can use remote start again. Does using the phone app let you start it more than twice? Lol

:dunno: As I said before, I've never needed to remote start it from the app even twice, much less more than twice. :lol:

Maybe PenguinLover can answer that question, since he's in a cooler climate than I generally am. :thumbs:
