Shop seems to have put in 0w 20 in 3.8 sedan

Well it does make sense if the shop is pumping the oil from a drum. I have seen shops use a oil dispenser system to pump oil from drums(or main tanks) directly in the car from a hose, but I guess they can also pump oil in a receptacle like an old jug.

To be honest I have not paid a shop to change my oil in about 20 years and back then I went to a major chain oil change shop to have it done that used the oil dispenser from what I could see from the window into the service bay.

Yeah. Actually funny enough the guy on the phone said he’s been telling the owner they should get those hoses for the guys. I guess for now the pump it from a drum into an old jug.

If the old jug method works ; then the shop really do not need to spend the extra cost of updating to the I assume very expensive dispense system that electronically measures the amount coming out of the hose.

Those dispense systems seem to be used more by shops that perform mainly quick oil changes due to a high customer turn around. Smaller independent repair shops usually do not perform enough oil changes in a day to make it cost effective to upgrade to such a system.

I take my own oil and filter to my mechanic to use. Have for many years.
