I do believe choco has lost their mind. Even with an older model pickup I will not just put anything in her.

Its been 11 months since my last oil change, and its still clear, about the same color as ice tea. I drive it about 14000 miles a year. FYI- The oil companies have brain washed us Americans. It is fucken stupid to change oil at 3000 miles.


It's a bit like the shampoo instructions that always tell you to lather twice. Of course they do, you'll use twice as much of their product.

I tend to change my oil when it starts looking iffy rather than by the milage.

Don't agree. I've had some old cars which gbecause spending moet the minimum nspent on them because to spend any morey just isn't worth it. Perhaps Chocguy drives something like that.

I'm thinking beatup Escort Pony, 230,000 miles, smokes, with missing body parts. I wouldn't worry about pissing in the crankcase then.

Thanks Moo!

My car is a bit rusty so I didn’t care much on anything I put on it. It was dated back on the 80’s. I’m glad that it is still running.
