Anyone want to do a group oil change between 13-15 of november? edit:(it's on the 14th for sure, sat)
it will be a self oil change, where people can help each other out, at one location

this way, people who dont know, can learn, and people can all get together with a few minis.

some of us who don't need the oilchange jst yet, will bring food for a barbecue. others will bring tools. bring your own filters and at least 5quarts(?)(that's what it said on the how to on this site) of synthetic oil.

Ryan (I know, he's banned..)is hosting the event at his place
MINI oil change

Being that I get all service absolutely free, I don't feel like wasting time changing my own oil . I did enough of that with my 1977 Ford Thunderbird, I'm ready for some free service

I'll be there

All mini owners get free service but some of us dont want to wait for 10K miles or more for their first oil change...I have 17K miles and I dont want to wait till 25K for my second oil change

And this meet is a good opportunity to meet other mini owners and learn how to change the oil in our minis!

Tru Tru... I think you may have swayed me, I'd definitely go to chill out and meet some good peeps, but I actually just got my 10K service done, so I'm not even close to due for an oil change.

Jeez Boys and Girls I want to play too. I have 6000 miles and have never waited this long to do a change BUT..

You see I'm in CT in by the time I got there I would be due, according to MINIUSA,but you know about those guys. They don't want you to change your oil. They only want you to change your name. Long live MCO.

Anyway even if I did come, I would need another by the time I got back home.

Whatever should I do?
