^For some reason I thought that pastidip wouldn't come off tires. Silly me

 

[airblaster503]

Few pictures of my car. Plasti dipped the wheels the other day

Plasti dip looks like **** in the picture because it is dirty from dusty roads. Overall was super easy to apply, took my wheels off since it was a bit hard trying to get a plastic bag behind them to cover brakes and rotors.

Sorry for crappy cell pictures.

thanks in advance, sorry for the amateur question.

Look in ur car manual

 

[SVNTI]

Most Synthetics are usually good for around 6,000 miles. I'd change it every 4,000 just to be safe.

 

[Betonblck]

You can go like 10,000 miles on synthetic. Regular oil 5,000 miles.

 

[andycrazn]

ive been doing 3k every change on synthetic. dont wanna risk it

Yall dudes wasting money changing synthetic at 3-4,000 miles.

Oil chemistry and engine technology have evolved tremendously in recent years, but you'd never know it from the quick-change behavior of American car owners. Driven by an outdated 3,000-mile oil change commandment, they are unnecessarily spending millions of dollars and spilling an ocean of contaminated waste oil.

The majority of automakers today call for oil changes at either 7,500 or 10,000 miles, and the interval can go as high as 15,000 miles in some cars. Yet this wasteful cycle continues largely because the automotive service industry, while fully aware of the technological advances, continues to preach the 3,000-mile gospel as a way to keep the service bays busy. As a result, even the most cautious owners are dumping their engine oil twice as often as their service manuals recommend.

I change mines every 5-6 months since i dont drive dat much

Synthetic doesnt mean your oil will last longer, it means your engine will last longer if you use it.

I still change synthetic every 5,000 miles, I do think the 3,000 is a tad too crazy.

Synthetic oil does last longer.

First off, synthetic oil is better than conventional oil when it comes to its form and function. Conventional oil could never stand up to synthetic when it comes to longevity and ability to handle extreme high temperatures without breaking down.

But all this advanced technology doesn't come cheap. A synthetic oil change can cost over twice as much as conventional oil...but is it worth it beyond its obvious better performance characteristics?

This is not exactly a straight yes or no answer to go along with this question as there are several variables to consider, but in general, most experts would agree that synthetic is (for now) the lesser of the two evils.

Their logic stems from the fact that while conventional oil is evil because it is derived from petroleum, synthetics are unfortunately formed by chemicals that are no less harmful to the environment... but there is a difference here. Synthetics can last as much as three times longer than conventional oil, which means that you could be dumping less than 15 to 24 quarts of oil per year.

Synthetic oil change services may be more costly but have some pretty impressive advantages such as:

Flows easier in colder weather
Increases resistance to break down at high temperatures
Consumes less energy due to engine friction and saves fuel
Lasts as much as three times longer than conventional oil

How many miles does your car have on it? I went with the Mobil 1 high mileage just because my car has 130k miles on it but I would change it every 5-6k or so miles. I just check from time to time to see if the oil levels are getting low or not.

 

[cs02132]

im about to hit 110k and i change my synthetic oil about every 4k.. I get free oil changes for about another year so im not worried..

Rotella T6 erry 5,000 miles.

Strongly considering copping a truck within the next few months.

A few questions:

What truck models do y'all think will age the best? (Won't look outdated in a few years)

Do trucks hold any value over time?

I wanna buy, I plan on driving it long after it's paid off.

Looking into the '14 GMC Sierra, Ford F150, Toyota Tundra.

G wagon.


GO BIG OR GO HOME

 

[picasso swerve]

G Wagon is ugly IMO. 

But anyways since that wasnt a serious answer..(hopefully)

Sierra looks nice. F150 cant be serious with that new 4 seperate light design...
