Hi one fact this topic is overlooking is it doesnt matter how muych you change your oil within reason because 95 percent of engine wear takes place at start up when all the oil is in the sump and during the warm up period as all the moving parts are tight till they expand at running temprature letting an engine idle for 20 or 30 seconds every time you start it will do more for your engine than any amount of oil changes another thing stop start driving wil kill an engine quite quickly as it doesnt have time to warm up, if a journey is within walking distance guess what dont be a lazy sod walk it and do the car a favour and get some exercise ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Howell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 11:03 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] synthetic oil, interval between changes?
