Some of you guys need to seriously lighten up. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean that others won't enjoy it..

I was taught a valuable lesson when I was young. If you don't have something nice to say then say nothing at all..

It really does make the world a better place.

You know what the WORST part of changing oil is?

That little delay in time from the time the engine fires till the oil pressure pops up. Only other time a short, quick thing made me that nervous was when my HS GF told me she migt be pregneat.

Lead follow or get out of my way
I prefer the great oil rebate that Walt was talking about.
I was going to post some of my thoughts and findings with Mobil 1. However... I was afraid to mention cleanable oil filters like O'berg and System One that we use in the race cars and off road trail buggies.

What I will say is this... Walt and I agree.

That's the worst part of the birth. The worst part of having the kid is at least the next 5.5 years. I'll let you know how the rest goes when I get farther along.

Doing things wrong, until I get it right.
The worst part about having kids, is having kids.;missingteeth;Hopefully (if I'm doing this right?) mine will grow up to contribute to society and not leech off of it. Two kids will also prioritize your oil purchase to "What is affordable without causing damage" Fortunately two of my three oil changes ( I drive 4 miles to work) a year are paid for by my MIL. She gets everybody a SuperLube card for Christmas, I get one, so does the wife, but with the purchase of our new Sonata, we get free oils changes for two years, so I get hers for myself.:cool:. Still got one year to go on that. so I technically pay for one oil change a year. That's why I was wondering if FRAM was better than the NONAME specials SuperLube uses.

Some OEM filters are just rebranded Fram el cheapo filters. The OEM Honda one for my CR-V was like that. It doesn't cost that much more to get a filter where the element has metal end caps and decent anti-flow back seals. I've seen some people's engines and oil pans damaged because the monkey the SuperLube places employed didn't know what they were doing. Stripped the pan right out or didn't tighten the plug properly and the oil plug fell out on the road along with the oil in the engine.

I drive a Corolla for my DD, simplest car in the world. If they break it, they can fix it. I only change the oil in my Ranger, that has not moved in over a year:cry:

A lot of people said I should have done that.

I had kids just to piss them off.

I've seen that too. Aluminum 3.0 pan the bolt wouldn't go in, and wouldn't come out, but it did leak.
