No, it does not need anything better than what you are giving it.

only if you want to extend your OCI

No not really I like to get under it and poke around. I gotta grease the fittings anyway why not do it then

My dad had a 1997 5spd S10 with the same 2.2L engine. He ran it 160k miles on cheap dino (mainly wolf's head) and it still ran like a top before it was totaled in an accident.

Those 2.2L are bulletproof. I'd use PYB like you've been doing and change every 5,000 miles.

The grammar war has begun.

It use to bother me, but with the age of texting all of this is just a way of life now. Times are changing for sure.

It really bothers me. I may not be perfect, but when someone makes spelling or grammar errors, it stands out in my head. I'm only 21 years old, yet I still can't stand the way words are shortened in text messages. It makes people appear illiterate. I guess I'll have to deal with this pet peeve my entire life. I can thank my mom for that one.

Well, back in the day, and I mean way back in the day they use to teach cursive writing. Today kids in school don't know what cursive writing is. That bothers me.

Wow! I must have been in a decent school. I usually write in cursive and I remember learning how in second grade.

THANK YOU!!! I HEAR YA!!!!

I generally consider todays generation 'illiterate' when comapared to past generations.

They don't teach 'quality' penmanship like they used to......

In the 2nd grade, my teacher called my cursive writing "chicken scratch" in front of the whole class. I just learned cursive when this happened. I don't feel too bad that it's gone.
