Ha! All this time I felt like I was attending a hemorrhoid convention, just waiting on an a-hole so we could get started.
Oil test/comparision - interesting read B/c I just love feeding the bears when the sign says not too. Again no Meth -- sorry Dave http://www.animegame.com/cars/Oil%20Tests.pdf
A-hole has arrived. :ihih::lol: I have been called worse. I just do not like people quoting labs for stuff like this because one size does not fit all. They can say whatever they want without knowing all the factors for each individual car or motor type or any other factors. In general they could be right for most cars but not for every car at all different levels and environments. I mean heck BMW built the car and they originally said 15K, they soon found out they were wrong. :lol:
Helps keep you regular too!!:shocked: Who needs fiber!! Motor OIL!! That my friends is truly recycling!!:ihih:
ostcount well...maybe one more thing to add..:crazy: How about add... Facebbook/AOL user - 3,000 miles!!
Nah, you see I was brought up on cars with 3,000 mile service intervals - and they were real service intervals, not just mucking about with oil but also proper, godly, insertion of grease into greasing points.
Interesting observation.....I was at our local MINI dealer getting an oil change (they will do them until I'm out of warranty, it's a quirk I have) and I asked them to grease my RSB while they had it up on the rack. No one in MINI or BMW service had a grease gun. It's a sign of the times I guess!!!
Ok well that's not the only quirk you have but perhaps we should not go down that road at this time. And don't we all like our RSB lubed every now and agin?
7.5k is still safe, 5k is simply cheap insurance. As Dave.0 said... Blackstone won't pay out if you grenade your engine. I don't mind changing it early. Especially now that I only will be changing it about once a year. The fiancée's car gets about 5 oil changes a year, though - so it evens out. :lol:
Ford tried permanently sealed suspension parts awhile back and found out it was a big mistake. I had my new 2015 MCS serviced Friday at it's 750 mile first dealer oil change, only to discover there were no zerk fittings on the suspension parts. You would think the automotive world would learn from it's past mistakes! Motor on!
Dealers don't even have grease guns for zerk fittings anymore... Most suspension parts are urethane... So no grease now... Only zerks I have seen on MINI's are on the aftermarket swaybars....and this is going back to 2002....
Come to think of it...even my late 80's HONDA'S DIDN'T have zerks.....don't think I have ever owned a car, us if import with then, just HD trucks and planes with zerks....
