KARNUT

I use Kroger’s the most. Their office is right at the pump. It’s rare the receipt doesn’t work at the pump. But there’s always the thank you at the end.

I didn’t have trouble keeping the plastic on the old 2002 Avalanche looking new. Every three months treatment took about 15 minutes. It was a lot of plastic.

I remember the old slide recipe with carbon paper. My first job after getting my license was pumping gas at a Getty Service Station in NJ. I worked there for about 4 months before my father hired me to be a fueler and greaser at his company. He would never take us to work. I had no idea the size of his company. Only because he didn’t want us to be exposed to the language. I was shocked at how my uncle’s and father spoke on the job.

The easy solution is to always get a recipe. Then you know you completed the sale. I sure you know that.

I may be old school. But I’ll pass. I’ll stick with the old stuff. Thank you.

Good luck

I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

What you can’t seem to understand we might be trying to keep your thread alive. Even with your condescending attitude. Just how many 3.0 mini diesel’s owners do you think are here? I have my device set for the last posts. It doesn’t take long for post to vanish. But alas I’ll just ignore you in the future. Have a nice day.

I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

P.S You might want to read the heading to your thread.

I have access to about 20 diesel trucks with my business. And of course multiple gas trucks and cars. Zero-20 weight oil is used in most all of them. But if you want to narrow down to one specific little diesel engine that’s fine. That’s what I get for agreeing with the idea of the use of lighter oil. In modern engines. And of course agreeing with you. I wouldn’t make that mistake again.

I agree with this assessment. As you know I’m testing longevity with vehicles for the first time. I have a few vehicles I passed to kids and grandkids. We’re all past 100K miles some approaching 170K. I’m the only one doing 5k oil changes. The rest whatever the minder says. I’m the only one doing frequent transmission service. My odyssey the trip vehicle at 200K will be finished as a trip vehicle. I recently changed to high mileage oil, Valvoline. I can’t get past the fact that all manufacturers want to claim long service life. I just don’t make sense that they would go with low weight oil for mileage. While sacrificing longevity.

Well if you insist.

It’s over for almost 24 hours. Are you playing Eddie Haskell?

I guess you missed the part where traffic was picking up, right. I even picked a left leaning publication. Your info was yesterday’s news. Mine was today’s. Business is picking up.

I don’t live in Conroe. You seem to want to cherry pick a location to call my home. I live in an acre subdivision between lake Conroe and the Woodlands. Conroe does have a lot of residents from south of the border. Trying to make a go in a new country. My church is in Conroe and the highway cuts through Conroe. Ok you got it. Let’s put this thread back on track.

Now back to our regular schedule program. Once I return home from Waco. The Stan Van will be almost ready for an oil change. And she still reads full.

You’re trying to cherry pick. Have a nice day.

I don’t know where you get your information from.

It really doesn’t matter to me. Making a blanket statement that can be refuted will be. As I pointed out the information is out there. Hey google.

My area is one of the most affluent areas in Texas. And yet affordable housing is close by. My family business pays top wages and turnover is very low. You can’t but people in a box if you want to succeed the opportunity is there.

Oops I did leave one stat out, pay. High pay for an equipment operator in 1974 was 5$ per hour. Today it’s 25-45$ per hour. Specialties and unions pays are higher. Now I’ll leave you to it.
