I guess buying the oil might be acceptable.....? who knows.
but you still have no hard proof that you changed the oil. I wonder if they'll make a big deal out of it.

I'm pretty sure they'd accept jiffy lube receipts.


but yes, AAA did ask for receipts.
tell them you will sign an affidavit that says you regularly changed your oil.
