How did you manage to post this without Triple_Se7en calling you a liar outright?
Apparently, he thinks my 4.6 SOHC is drastically different than your 4.6 SOHC engines?
If I have no information on member vehicles during such specific claims, I never question the post. It's rare where I chastise a 15K OCI. What I chastise are a lifetime of Rural King conventional OCIs with 15K OCIs. That's because there aren't any documented here.
Anyone can run Rural King conventional for 15K and do it several times in a row. But that's the type / M.O. of owner that trades his vehicle-in and the next owner suffers the consequences at 150-175-200K.
Anyone here that brags about running 15K OCIs on Rural King conventional for 15-18 years is the outright liar, not me.
I am happy for Mr. Newton's achievement. Been done here using similar house brand conventionals a thousand times. But the more times you do it, the shorter-the-time that engine does a breakdown.
Linckie, ask Mr. Newton for a thread update in 15 years. Then Newton and you can call me a liar.
I'm done with this. Treat you vehicles like krappola and brag about i........ not I said the Blind Man. Besides, UOAs tell us the condition of the oil and not the condition of the engine.
