    ^^^Mine nvr came on. I'll just assume the dealership didn't actually do an oil change, but reset the DIC instead. Which means I get to spend $$ on an oil change soon just to be on the safe side. <_<

    I've heard way too many stories about oil change places cheating people when they arent looking, Example: Not changing the oil and resetting the system, then taking the customer's money. If the typical customers I deal with at Advance are like the typical customers that go in for paid oil changes... they'd never notice.

    It takes 20 minutes and I dont even get dirty anymore after I learned the tricks doin it a couple of times.. not worth it to pay for it imo.

    Anyway I never drove a GXP but I've seen them cruising around and they seem cool, everyone says they're a blast to drive and as far as excessive problems go... go on ANY car forum for ANY make and model and you'll see atleast a handful of people saying "This is the most troubled car I've ever owned." Not to say that the previous posters problems arent real, but that I guess some individual cars on the production line might just have inherited more likelihood for problems and that shouldnt reflect on the whole line of cars?
