The license plate lights work - - and it makes sense from a safety
point of view that brake light bulb failure would be indicated whether
you were using the brakes at the moment or not. I'll start there!

You must have never replaced the fan motor -- I don't miss mine!

that is why I invested in the latex cat suit at the adult store. The
oil does not show, and I can rub goop all over and hose off.

Depends on the filter. With Motorguard, it's
1. twirl t-handle on filter, remove lid
2. remove TP and stick in bag
3. insert new TP
4. reinstall lid, tighten t-handle.

That's exactly right. Two list members who tried the 0W-40 had lifter
noise return on their OM603 engines, and one noticed a significant
increase in iron wear particles in the oil analysis. Reverting to
5W-40 or 15W-50 cured both issues... lifters quieted down and iron
wear went back to normal.

As Marshall already mentioned, which you would have noticed if you had

the M-1 0W-40 is on the thin side of a 40 rating. I vaguely recall
something about the Amsoil 0W-30 having similar specs? Despite being
awfully close
And THAT, David, is why I'm not interested in bypass filters. You do
get near-virgin oil in the engine at all times, but there's nearly
zero cost savings over just using extended drain intervals. Changing
the TP every 2.5k and adding a quart would be somewhat of a nuisance
to me. I would consider

I think you might be cheating, what with two vacs involved, even if one
of them is a carcass. But as long as you only use maybe half a tube of

I used to think in most cases what they're doing is estimating oil life
based on
the engine's history -- how many cold starts, how many miles, etc.
There's a complex formula programmed into the computer for it. It does mean
you have to use the oil they recommend, or the program might not be

I think you mean $24/gal ($6.00/qt) versus the $3.98/qt in the 5 qt jugs.
