Yep. I change my oil every 5k and get recommended maintenance done every 15k, and I've had very minimal car issues over the years as a result.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

For those without an owner's manual handy, the recommended intervals for oil change (and the routine maintenance that goes with it) can be found by plugging in your car's year/make/model info at CalRecycle's Check Your Number page: [link]
I'd crack out the manual or consult a professional for the more serious stuff though.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have to post this [link] because it made me laugh SO HARD.

QQ: employee performance evaluation given at a restaurant, and in the same town as the place of employment. Unprofessional?

Unprofessional?
Highly.

Too bad that oil change calculator doesn't have cars before 2000.

Huh, it says I only need to change my oil every 7,500 miles! So I think the oil change/rotation now and wait till 30K for a full-scale maintenance seems good; maybe I'll do the 30K a little early but then continue on the 15Kish intervals, which seems to be working well for people.

It depends. Have other employees gotten evals at restaurants? Was it a place were you'd be easily overheard by other employees? was salary discussed? I have actually had reviews done in restaurants, because my boss wanted a MORE private place than my office plus he wanted to buy me lunch as part of a "good job" eval.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nice day with the parents! Went with my father for a tour of the local chocolate factory -- it's small, so not really much to tour, but very interesting! And then helped make stuff for family Christmas tomorrow -- cookies, spiced nuts, and I think that's all I really did.
