Checkin' in...back from Cardiologist, heart's still w*rkin' fine. Gotta schedule a stress test which is a good idea . I never had one.

Speakin' of oil......rode with a guy last week. 2002 Springer, 25k miles and looked like new. Said he changes his oil every 1000 miles with synthetic!!! Told him to save me his old oil......But with that mileage it's only twice a year.

No kidding, that oil would be fine in lawn mowers and such. Probably better than what's in my car right now. He could put twice as many miles on dino, and it would probably still be overkill.

Mornin.
Headin out in a bit to Chino Hills.
That high mileage oil fried the motor in my old Aerostar van and the oil did'nt even have high mileage on it. Scored the walls and put a hole in a piston.
It's crap and a bad gimmick.
I thought oil and work discussion was forbidden in here.

just hit 30k, time for an oil change here. Bought it in spring 2012 with 12026.... so, roughly 18k in 3 seasons. Not bad, but I want more... how do I get winter abolished?

everyone has somewhere they feel they belong. Tn is a nice state, but I've wanted to live at the coast since the first time I saw it... and have never changed my mind. It's where I belong.
