Yeah maybe true if you are still running stock. I only use AMSOIL and I change my oil every 3k. Oil is cheap insurance for expensive parts, so why not use one of the best you can get as cheap insurance.

Well, the MINI we plan on taking this year is following tradition and is acting up. Looks like she needs new brake pads and rotors, new spark plugs, an oil change and we have gotta figure out why the "service engine soon" light is on. Luckily our local club has a mod party next weekend. This would be the third year in a row that something happened to her RIGHT before the dragon. Hahaha. This is our S, we have taken the Cooper twice. Plan on bringing the classic next year... If it'll drive that far.
Thank you. I went for a ride this morning and noticed that the rear was more settled and the overall balance of the car was better. I guess the tail was "too short" all this time. :lol: Jim
Let see things left for me to do on my MC40 before the Dragon: Mount and Balance new tires Fix stone chips in paint Oil Change Wash, Clay, Polish and Wax Check all accesible bolts and nuts are tight to spec. Tape off front end for the trip down to protect from even more stone chips.
Dug around behind the driver's kick well and found the elusive fuse to the OEM (dealer installed) driving light wiring. Found it (it was blown) and relocated to a place where the entire car will not have to be dismantled to get to it. Why on earth do they do silly things like that???????? Jim
New wheels and tires. Had MINI checked over at the dealer, only thing found was a hole in the wind screen for sunroof. Part ordered at n/c. Picked up beer for beer swap. Just finished claying, glazing and waxing. Done for the weekend :beer
The Countrygal is getting stripes, bonnet, boot and roof, and a really good cleaning (1 year olds reek havoc on the interior of cars!) Other than that just a few stickers to apply that I hadn't put on the Clubby before we sold her :'(.
WOOOOOT, the wife just ordered me a GoPro Hero II motorsports package for my birthday!!! Be sure to smile at the Dragon, you could be in the movies.... LOL
