[QUOTE="Rios302, post: 15231710, member: 156969"] I have been having a long busy week so instead of doing the oil change myself, I decided to take my car to Walmart for an oil change and get groceries for the week. After an hour I come back and pay them for the oil change. As I drove away, the car felt fine. I went back to my house and parked the car for the rest of the day. The next day I wake up and start getting ready for work, I turn on the car and headed out. As soon as I went into second gear, the car gave me a weird vibe, it felt as if the car was not running as smoothly. I didn't gave it much thought and I figure the car was still cold and sometimes the 3.73s are a bit finicky besides I didn't wait for the engine to warm up and it was a cold morning. I then get to work which is like 5 miles away and parked the car. Once I am off work I headed back home and I immediately noticed my car feeling harsh, the kind of feeling you get when you drop a gear to higher revs without releasing the clutch smoothly or feathering the throttle. I am like maybe the car's tune was remove at the shop, but I doubt Walmart even messes with the computer. I then grab my oil change receipt and there it is, the stupid people at Walmart only added 7 quartz instead of the recommended 8 quartz. i was so pissed. I took the nearest exit, stop by Autozone and bought and a quart of mobil 1. As soon as I turn the car back on, it immediately felt 10x better. I am not sure what to make out of this and although the car was not driven hard, and it feels fine I am afraid there could of been some wear or damage to the engine. I am contemplating going back to Walmart and letting them know of what happen. For the time being, I am going just going to save that receipt in case something happens, however I am really pissed not just at the people at Walmart but myself for not double checking a crappy such as the Walmart Auto Department.
