Oil changed once a year - suggestions?

[sprintman]

Company I work for (PRAXA) did IT work for Finemores way back, not sure if they do now?
Sprintman from sprintcar racing (needed a username and had jut returned from a big sprintcar race). Not good but too late to change.
Are you doing new tyres on vehicle soon?

Hi,
yes sprintman, I think I can recall the name. In 1978 we had an independant consultant put in the first version of an integrated software & freight movement costing, accounting package

Nearly put the Outback's new boots on last week but there is still about 4mm of "meat" left. The Yokos were expensive ( paid for last tax year )$200 each!
They must go on before the rainy/cyclone season starts

Go to Bob Janes for some Nitrogen fill. Worthwhile in your heat!

Sprintman - a good idea I'll do it - Ta

Sprintman,

what cost for the nitrogen?

 

[sprintman]

$5.50 per tyre. Pays for itself many times over with increased tyre wear and even better not having to check pressures all the time. Another guy at BJ's when I got mine done said he was seeing better economy too. All I could put that down too is less rolling resistance from cooler rubber but I'm just guessing.

Rexman - I note your comments. If you look in the UOA section of this Board, the third Oil Condition Report on my Porsche tells its own story. Look at the trends there - this is what it is all about

Doug,
I've added some comments on your thread in the UOA board.

I'd be fine with M1 once a year.

HOWEVER, once a month or so, get the car out on the highway for 45 minutes to a hour. That should evaporate off all the liquid contaminents in the fuel (water and unburned fuel mostly).
