Hi Jack, I feel rather like an endangered species. I live in Canada so it is cold and I work from home so the car is mostly used for local trips. Following your suggestion, I should use the car for longer journeys when the opportunity comes along to get the moisture out which is a great idea. It is booked in tomorrow for an oil change to synthetic oil so that should help. Pavesa

Get the oil up to temp & drive off any moisture.Otherwise, change oil more frequently than 3000 mi, since short trips are real severe duty.Jack Web: <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dodge_intrepid> Subscribe: <mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Unsubscribe: <mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Moderator: <mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yahoo!
