I come from folks that are direct and to the point. I believe in seeing results, not reading results. When you say what you’re doing results in a half a million miles. Ok where’s the beef? I only post experiences that I witnessed and participated in. I have 4 vehicles that have over 150K miles up to 23 years old. All with different oil and change intervals. I have family members that drive vehicles with over 200K miles and 20 years old and over. My mother drives a 2000 Ford diesel with 250K miles. She’s 86 and refuses a new one. Her other truck is a 98 Ram diesel. No one is going to tell me I’m doing something wrong in that department. I know what works. 

That's why we need you here :

I didn't participate the Revolutionary War and never met George but I believe it happened. Notes were kept. 

About 5/7ths of the World Population doesn't believe in Christ but the entire world counts time by his arrival. 

No idea who my 10th Great Grandfather is but my mere presents is a witness to his existence. 

 

Others believe differently on every one of those points. Some believe making it to 250K is the "definition" of a successful program. Some minty fresh inside and some smoking and wheezing over the line and every combination in-between and all counted the same. 

 

I don't think I can participate in a world where I have to prove the alphabet makes words, words make sentences. Sentences make paragraphs and those convey ideas before attempting to convey an idea...every...single...time. 

 

But I wish you all the very best. Have fun and save me some cake.

Well sir, you got my vanities attention. That was the play, right?   I know, you had to try. I appreciate that. But brother....I'm tired of the silliness. People swapping anecdotal observation for scientific method. 

 

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition defines anecdotal (adj.) as:

 

2.) Based on casual observations or indications rather than rigorous or scientific analysis.

 

The fight to refute the idea that wearing a blue socks caused it to rain today (because you did and it did)...sort of thinking.

 

Mr. XYZ ran a vehicle, heck, ran a dozen vehicles over 200K without a whimper is the claim made.  Great! Did you open them up and have a look? Did you do any measurements?   No?.... So what basis is there for the causation for the correlation? Did you keep track along the way? No? So...anecdotal....And willing to fight to the death for it. Drove all those miles and for what???? 

 

Some one else does and provides the receipts and Doubting Debbie shouts, "It ain't so".  Then we go on for days back and forth proving the alphabet so we can make words so we....... Just like BITOG and why I never joint that one. Silly and fruitless arguments.

Not to be disrespectful. I don’t do clubs. Just being here to share my life’s experience is as close as I get. Where I’m known I’m respected without question. Here were just keyboard warriors. Some of the silliness that goes on here is entertaining. Reminds me of elementary school at times. We don’t really change that much as we age, mostly physically. Have I learned a thing or two, of course. Realistically it’s mostly opinions. Even though I’m originally from the north. Car care is drastically different in the south than the north. Much different. Sometimes I wonder do you really need to be that extreme? A very knowledgeable machanic always says. They only need what they need. He’s very entertaining. Vicegrip garage.

Set it up as a OPEN club because the site allows a  open club to guide the discussion. It’s just the same as posting on any other area and want Grumps or OnTheReel or others  to lead it. I will provide data I own most have never seen but I have dementia and am losing my capability to remember. If no one steps up to help I’ll fail. Thanks to @OnTheReel joining.

Here’s our first discussion thread. Come on in it’s OPEN!!!

On my caretakers new Subaru I am seriously thinking of Amsoil OE 0w16 and periodic Valvoline 0w20 Restore and Protect.

 

But my favorite thing is SPRINT CARS WITH NO WINGS. Amsoil out did themselves sponsoring this:

Growing up, I went to the sprint car races in my hometown every Friday night.  Good times.
