Pretty accurate. "Basic car" was off, but the other two could be close. That $12.5k is a week at Disney for a family of four.

Gosh. Even if I was obsessive about it, I wouldn't even think about changing oil until I saw 5k miles.

Drain and fill ATF for the Edge at 60K with Amsoil OE FE ATF. This is the third D-F (every 20k). Fluid came out pretty cloudy and brown, which was a bit surprising. I might have to move the next service up a bit.

A lot of weird things going on with this. I'm staying away.

Of course! Get the MLB.tv package every year and try to watch one or two (half of each) games a night. Some much going on just this weekend. And we still get six months of this. Going to Mariners/Brewers Friday.

Yeah, this looks normal to me.

"The number one thing affecting the oil is the fuel" (7:05). I guess we don't need these BITOG OCI threads any more. ;) (Short attention span) This is all I need to know. Thanks. Maybe I'll finish it up another day.

My first job was at a grocery store in a lower income city. I could go on and on.....

Love: Blind spot detector lights on mirrors Cameras on front and rear. Automatic on and off high beams "Intelligent" AWD and traction control. Hate: Adaptive Cruise Control Light and brake warning about slowing down Lane change detector (at least I can turn this off). I can't change the radio...

My FB experience on selling a car was so easy. We exchanged the money and title at my kitchen table. We even talked on the phone beforehand (kind of my thing). All of my bad FBMP experiences are selling my kids old stuff off in great condition at 1/4th-1/3rd of retail. People don't...

To each his own on the topic. I've been pretty successful with 10k OCI's and it's been recommended to me (by UOA's) to go to 12k, which I'm in the process. The Mustang is on 2 yr OCI's as it's not really driven much.

Locally, there have been a few of these. Most of the Fire Departments have these blankets and put them over the cars and then tow them to a "safer" location (if need be). It's going to get real interesting soon as new multi-family developments must have a certain percentage of their parking...

My OLM runs for just over 10k before the light comes on. On my UOA's I always list the OLM reading. The last one I took down to 0% for awhile and it came back with a TBN of 3.3 (for example).

I owned a grey Accord. Yeah, there are only 100,000 of them on the road. I walked up to one and it was locked (I don't lock cars). So I'm like "WTH?" and tried the key. The key didn't work and I got worried. I looked inside and it was dirty, which was a red flag. My car was about three...
