I could spend days walking around here.

I have small chain saw I bought in the 80's. Only used it a few house per year. About 10 years ago it developed a problem where it would sometimes smoke like crazy for a few minutes then clear up. On and off problem. Didn't use it much, maybe 3 hours of use over 3 years with this problem...

I have 99 Caravan. I put Monroe "Premium" strut assemblies on it 5 years ago. They make a loud groaning noise when the temp falls below 40 degrees F. No more Monroe for me.

Didn't we just have paper published by GM on here say that by far the most important wear factor is cold starts and oil type and grade were of little importance. Walmart oil and filter will work well for %99 percent of the cars on the road.

UPDATE Price drop to $33. Starting tomorrow. Now I have to make room for more.....this could be a problem.

Until May 20th. 5 liters of their OE synthetic oil [made by shell?] and an OE pro-series oil filter. This is a very well made filter. Ya never know when the price of motor oil is gonna rise.

Valvoline operates quick oil change locations in Canada called "Great Canadian Oil Change". You could call a location near you.

The owner's manual for my old dodge van says to use the ph-st 16 oil filter for up to 15,000 miles. I don't think so.

Most tires on large aircraft are recapped.

This might help

If the system is made for DOT3 [ DOT3 on the cap] I can't see how adding a fluid that meets that spec can be the wrong thing to do.

How long can an engine last when treated this way? Remember, no good deed goes unpunished! She puts in some of your used oil. The next day the engine seizes, then what?

Do I think the GDI engine in my 2016 Hyundai is a good engine? Absolutely not. Do I change the oil more than any other car I have owned? Nope. You can't fix a poorly made machine with slightly cleaner lubrication.

I think it's more about the design of the structure where the wheels retract up into. Put the equipment in the cheapest/easiest positions and make the gear conform to what room is left.

Maybe you're right. They look perfectly good at twice the recommend change interval. You've convinced me, I'm not going to change my air filter this year. It feels better to just sit down and have a beer anyways.
