We need a "Pointless, Never Ending, Thread" Section for all the oil change, oil brand, V8 vs V6, auto vs stick, etc threads.

Let the filter do it's job, it will collect all the junk. In the end it is what you feel comfortable with.

I was wrong...2 a week for 3 years = 312.

Does anyone EVER use the Search?

So...why did you open this and spend the time to respond? It's a reoccuring question because it's an important one.

No such thing as "break in additives"!!!

metal flakes...jeez, i could eat a few flakes of metal and it probably wouldn't hurt me. small flakes of metal in a metal engine...does anyone really think that would damage an engine?

BowlingSS · 11-30-2011, 12:18 PM

Did mine at 500/1500/3000 miles and then 5K intervals..

You have some very strong opinions on a great number of topics.

I'm beginning to wonder if you're intentionally inflammatory, or if you really believe them.

Probably where I'll be doing mine. I'm switching straight to Valvoline synthetic.
