I didn't realize there was any trick to checking oil. I just keep tabs on the level and at 2-3k (usually 2...I'm a bit anal) its dirty and time for a change..duh. No dirty fingers for me

Actually, this comment could be considered politically incorrect, with bad timing. Could offend our Iraqi friends who risked their lives voting........

I'm known for my off-color remarks.

I reccomend visually inspecting the oil often. It would sure be nice to catch water or antifreeze dilution that way before buying a new engine.
However, perfectly good oil can wind up looking pretty dark. It's not a good heuristic.

This statement is not complete, it should be noted that when the oil 'feels' gritty between the fingers, you know the oil is dirty,
THEN it is time to change the oil

There's another joke in here somewhere. Something about where to check with your finger if you're a quart low...

Found this on another forum:

''actually the best way to find if you need to change your oil, check it often and when it gets discolored and then on your finger after that is discolored, its time to change.''

A good example of anybody being able to post anything they want on the net?

My wife heard me laughing and asked what was so funny. How do you explain this to someone who isn't an "oil head"?

So who wants to have sex with somebody that smokes?

A little more bad advice I just ran across doing a search on another website bulletin board:

quote:

---

If you change your oil every 3K like you should (5K intervals were strong-armed onto the manufactures by the Green movement) a good quality detergent oil is all you need.

"strong-armed onto the manufactures by the Green movement"

Another gem from the same source, this time about interchanging throttle bodies on a Honda. ''not much on em but it sould bolt right up and work. 1.5 and a 1.6 ain't much bigger in size. 1.6 and 1.5 is the oil it holds.''

I swear to you, I almost posted this quote 2 days ago......I thought I was the only one who ever said that.

But my all-time favorite is: "Man who cast his hook in another man's pond catch crabs"
