I have checked out maybe 40 used cars in the last 10 years. Private sellers who have owned the car for a while. I always ask about oil changes and they usually have bills for service. Almost all of them change oil every 5,000 miles at the local quick lube shop and when I look under the oil cap...

In November I cut apart one of these OE+ filters and compared it to a Hyundai filter. I maintain 2 Elantras. The OE+ filter looked good but the inside diameter of the centre tube was very large on the OE+. This made the effective size of the filter media much smaller than the Hyundai. Not saying...

Luxury brands costing more....It may be the owners of luxury brands don't do things like change a tail light bulb. More fancy trouble prone features.

I don't change oil and or filter as often as most people here. Extremes have been 15.000 miles on oil, 20,000 miles on a filter. Currently have 3.5 years/14,000 miles on an oil filter. My cars just keep going. I believe I have saved money and time. My Hyundai is a different story.

Don't worry about it. Just do it!

Everyone will have a different opinion. Mine.....looking at how they are driven, I'd use supertech synthetic for 7,000 miles. Maybe longer.

I'd say that's a 1971 N600 twin air cooled chain drive.

I'm on my second GDI car. I change oil maybe every 6,000 miles using store brand synthetic. I never use any fuel additive or spray cleaner. Regular gas. No catch can. First car, a 2008 Cadillac CTS with 3.6 V6 producing 304 hp. went over 250,000 miles trouble free until scrapped due to rust. I...

I am still not convinced. I've noticed the professor settled his bet in the video but holds some reservations about the experiments validity. I would agree with him. His idea that the wind speed down closer to the ground is much lower that up where the propeller is could explain a lot of things...

Interesting numbers in the last paragraph of their warranty. Read here... https://www.castrol.com/en_us/united-states/home/castrol-engine-warranty-program.html

Call me a flat earther if you like but I still don't get it. I look at this situation in terms of energy. There is one source of energy, the wind as it acts on the structure of the vehicle. The wind pushes the vehicle up to the speed of the wind at best. If energy is removed from the wheels...

If this works, if you were to give it a push in no wind conditions, would it go on forever? why-why not?

I like trying to understand things like this but my brain has met it's match. Can anyone explain this? There are many videos on this "blackbird" vehicle traveling fast than the wind. Here is one video but it's long.

A new video showing an engine overfilled with oil.

2016 Hyundai Elantra GT, 140,000 miles. About 6,100 on the oil n filter. Gathered up some old bottles I'm trying to get rid of and made a mix of what I calculated to be 8W-38. Hyundai filter installed as well. The oil that came out looked very good, I think I'm changing oil too often. Here's...
