““I change my oil religiously...........every 50,000 miles.......or so.............” / Whether it needs it or not, right??? 8-)”
I drive a clunker. I don’t change oil, just add it.
Actually, knew a guy who loved surfing. In the 60s, in southern California, he had a clunker that burned oil so bad that he put a funnel on the dash...got jugs of old oil from the service stations, and just added some on the way to the beach each day.
I also once owned a motorcycle that leaked so bad I put an oil pan under it each night and put the oil back in each morning. Gotta love a $150 motorcycle.
Had a guy stop by the service station one day cause his oil light came on. The oil looked like grease. We asked him "When was the last time you changed the oil?" "Change it?", he says, "I don't change it, I just add oil when it needs some."
He had 96,000 miles on that car, as I remember, before it died (and it was dead).
I remember how amazed I was that it made it that far.
