91k/7yrs on factory fill! (Under valve cover pic)

[Kira]

An old lady's engine was clacking loudly in the Walmart parking lot. I offered to check her oil level.
The dipstick handle came off. The stick itself was fused in its tube.
I calmly said to her, "It's time for an oil change. Get one today, they're not expensive."
I smiled and tiptoed away just incase the old lady concluded she was being set-up or began screaming. Kira

How does one let this happen?

 

[Vikas]

see, how that guy mentioned the owner was an "indian doctor"? nobody asks him why that fact was important. when I said something about an immigrant mechanic, I was called out.

Was it a salesman's car provided by a business? (Wasn't SOMEBODY supposed to take care of that oil change)

Gruesome picture. What a shame and a waste.

No, it doesn't. No idea how you came to that conclusion.

So I guess were all wasting our time. If that engine went to a quick change place even every 15k than it would have lasted the life of the car...

 

[HangFire]

That's nothing, run a UOA on it, top it off and run it another 10K.




j/k

Perfectly balanced. I wish more manufacturers would make them.

 

[Brybo86]

I gotta show this to the gals at work...

 

[jacky]

just think they saved $20 by not changing the oil times 7 years thats $140 they saved

All I can say is that owners that treat their machines like this deserve every bit of repair cost that goes with it.

 

[zzyzzx]

I would assume that they did add oil.

He worked on a reservation and treated indians.

They are too wide to mount tranverse and too long to mount front to back with today's body layouts. Way back when Pontiac slapped a SOC head on the GM standard issue six and put it in the Tempest. It sounded pretty good but had some initial problems. Another good idea GM failed to follow through on.

We actually have people in BITOG that will argue that 7,5K is too long for any oil. )

I know you are kidding but the guy who mentioned it was not.

Anyway, isn't term "Indian doctor" redundant? Aren't all doctors Indian?

Keep in mind the OP said it has 91k kilometers, which is about 56k miles.
