Took my car in to the dealership today due to a crack in my windshield. The thread for the windshield is Here

I had 5282 KM's on it when it was changed. I went with synthetic oil and its cost me $123 and some change. Pretty expensive but its my baby.

I have read a number posts where people say the car seems to come alive after the oil change. So I pulled out of the dealership on Yonge street and headed to the 407 pulled onto the on ramp at about 30KM and as I hit the hwy to merge with no traffic I nailed it to see if it came alive like people have said... and it did. Felt like there was a lot more power. I took it out to a rural road slowed to about 10KM and nailed it.. took off like a snot in a full sneeze.

TJ maybe an oil change will bring your power out

Thats good to hear that your car came out, did you do your oil change at your dealer?
Im going to do it myself since it doesnt void the warrenty and would only cost me 50 for the oil and i have a filter. Going to do so when i come back from vacation.
Hey sigma, is yours an auto or manual?
