"NY cabs don’t change oil. They replace the filter every 2,000 miles and top off the oil."

How many miles do they get on the engine doing that?

"How many miles do they get on the engine doing that?"

The fact that NY cabs don't change oil is old news already. The mileage varies from 500,000 to 2,000,000. One cabbie joked, if it's american made the body and parts fall off around the engine.

Wow, he mentioned 400,000, I know from the taxi drivers I know they do keep them going that long or longer.

I should be able to get a million or so because I'm persnickety about flushing fluids (I'm goin'2 P rigt after I post, n'yuk,n'yuk, n'yuk, ooooh, Moe Larry !)

But , serially folks, I've 236,000 on a 93' Dodge Dynasty LE (all the bells & whistles, like an Imperial), still cruises like new and you could eat off the engine (keepin' it real clean seems to help).
