I stopped changing my own oil because it's more convenient to have my Indy do it. I drive somewhere. I wait an hour. I work while I wait. Done. Instead of buying parts, crawling around on the cement, dealing with hot oil , and hope you don't spill any on the driveway!!! ... and then my...

My 330 hp supercharged, turbo charged engine does not suffer oil dilution to any noticeable degree.

You simply won't convince me I am hurting my engine by doing 7500 or even 10K oil changes per manufacturer. I don't believe any of the BS conspiracy theory that car companies don't care what happens to your car after the warranty. That they don't care if cars don't last these days. They learned...

Anybody who claims 3,000 mil oil changes immediately loses me. That was a recommendation...in 1940. Surely something has changed since then... My supercharged and turbo charged Volvo got oil changes every 10K miles. Currently at 80K and purrs like a kitten. I'll be happy to do a lab in 20K...

Gotta be the second set. Right OP?

Thats INSANE Leeharvey. Wow. Me. Definitely me. No way these should have lasted this long. Also me. I will say, as some know I, am an acquaintance of a Service Director at Mazda, He told me at my 30K service to have them "lube the slides". I didn't know what that meant, but I had it done...

Anybody beat that for the ORIGINAL brakes? Had rotors and pads replaced today for the first time. Just under 82k miles. 4mm in front, 2mm in the rear. Weren't making noise or anything. Pretty happy. (Damn..just detailed her too and that rim looks like hell ... Guess I didn't get them well...

I likED my dealer when I bought and for the first few years. They went down hill. The first few services are what? Oil change? I know a Regional Service Director. He is a friend of a friend I met at friends party. Got me the employee discount. He told me that he absolutely is more helpful to...

No probably about it. Also true, though.

I obviously disagree with most, not all but most, of your post and stand by what I said. As more and more car companies make the switch to "Lifetime", surely more and more transmissions are failing? Tranny failures should be WAY up... I don't know a single person, personally, that has...

Very good news when every model years sees another sedan/coupe sunset. RIP S60 and RC350 for 2026.

Nope. Want to start one?

Significant repairs?

That's on my DO NOT WANT list. I HATE that feature. LOL Press the button...and waaaaaaaait..... Have it on my sedan but it only unlocks it and pops it up a bit. You have to manually close it. I like that.
