No scientific data here... I've for the most part, had used vehicles without knowing a lot of their service history. Having heard more than a few stories about a tranny flush that caused or introduced problems, I tended to do the drain and fill a few times over 4 - 6 weeks to dilute the capacity...

I like to investigate new-to-me cars that I can't identify but that one makes me think if I walk up to check it out, someone is going to see me and assume I like it or interested in getting one. H 3 L L no !!

Originally Posted by KCJeep Most of the posts I've seen regarding VW to Mobil have also referred to VW 508 oils. While it would not make any sense to use different suppliers, any changes to dealer bulk VW 502 has barely been mentioned here as far as I know. My Passat has been on dealer VW 502...

Tupperware has risen. Alloy wheels + Reflectors on mirrors, nice touch I'm trying to be nice here.

Johnny Cash could have done justice to the Monkey story in song

There are many things done out of habit, convenience or "piece of mind" as per service interval, period of time, other means of opportunity or record-keeping. It seems difficult if not silly at times to label right and wrong in some cases. How to even impose one idea, one rule or perspective...

Originally Posted by Meeler For me this topic is rather interesting! With our own ideas about what's best or works for us, none of us blew up a motor or at least care to admit it here ! What's your thought on a new vehicle first o/c or the typical intervals you go with ? Don't be bashful now...

Originally Posted by ARCOgraphite Mom and Pop Stereo Shop? Never heard them called that. Probably just a regional generic thing (term). To me and maybe the others, they are the independent stores that offer some nicer equipment and have clientele or regular hanger-outers that need not "be...

Be as assertive as you can while still being friendly, repeat a mantra of sorts every time you talk to them and every time, the same way word for word (as if you recorded them) on things they originally said - ie; We don't have the time to put into this,,,, Our crew is down due to CoVid...

Originally Posted by skyactiv The Coda series starts at $429. You aren't going to get a carbon fork or disc brakes in the less expensive models but they are good bikes regardless. The most comfortable bike I've ever ridden is a Jamis Coda Comp which is above your price range. Jamis puts decent...

Originally Posted by window I will change it at a thousand miles and every 5,000. Just thought I'd ask. (How's come it doesn't show in the Search feature if it's been discussed so much?) Oil's cheap, relatively speaking. 340,000 on my '07 is a good example. Would it have made it on half as many...
