I've been staying at the Hilton in midtown NY for weeks now, and the valet drivers love to bring my car in and out of the garage. During this past week, I hit 3,000 miles since the last oil change and the oil change warning started showing up. Well, when the attendant pulled up in my car, he jumped out and started telling me that I needed to get an oil change, and lecturing me about maintaining my car! It was just so funny, because it seems like those guys wish they could keep going when they bring some of the cars up.
Sorry, that's MY job! :2:
On a side note, the car felt rather squirrely on the way home. I checked the TPMS, and I saw

36!?!? What would make my tire pressure go up like that? Can't be summer heat.. the car stays 5 floors undergound, and we had a cool rain most of the week. It did explain why the car felt strange, though. At 95-100mph, I'm sure a difference that drastic would be quite noticeable.
Finally, does anyone else notice a difference in performance when it gets closer to the time to get an oil change? I feel a definite change in the responsiveness of the engine and the perfection I've become accustomed to comes right back as soon as I pull away from the dealer's express lube. I'm almost 1,000 over, which is fine since my dealer gives me free oil changes at 3,750 miles, not 3,000.
