But then the manual says, 3.5K for All, if driven Stop & Go, Short
trips, or dusty areas. Living in a big city, maybe That's why they
sent the letter. It Even said, I Probably have 3048 miles on the car.
The dealer is in the burbs, so they Must figure I'm driving short
trips, stop & go with it, or Sube goes by your zip code. I wrote to
Sube to see what They come up with, but I've heard that they come up
with some off the wall replies. Edmunds.com has 2 guys on a live chat
forum, who are Supposed to be from Sube, who said, Not to use
synthetic oil Unless the car Came with it. I didn't know any Sube's
did.
