John

or if they bi***ed alot .....


worked for just about every manufacturer at the dealer level and most brands share that same policy.....however try telling the customer that just dropped 45k on a new ride that 1 quart in 1000 miles is acceptable and you will be amazed on the soreness of your sphincter after.....i lost count of the factory rep mediations i have been to from the 1980's....and most times the motor gets ripped down right at the dealership.
