PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

he's been doing fine all along and now he wants to change it.

 

What job was this?!?!

 

Prob. a lube shop.

 

Contract job overseas. If you think things run poorly stateside go live anywhere second/third world for a while haha.

 

Get a bypass filter and change every 20k.

 

Other vehicles run poorly stateside...

My truck runs smooth as silk even with over 106K on the clock! I believe I've only had to replace a serpentine belt in 10 years!

 

Bypass filter? I'm too paranoid to change my oil every 20K!

 

My 28 year old Pickup runs like a clock, the 22 year old 4Runner runs perfectly, and I keep saying I’ll get another 2nd Gen (have had 2 in the past) when one of them finally dies.. been waiting a long while ha.

 

Did you have to replace the head gaskets in the '93? And wouldn't that be 25 years old?

 

I knew a girl that put 43 thousand miles on the factory oil in her H2. I think 10 would be fine.

 

Was she blonde or did she do it on purpose?!?!

 

blonde.

 

Cousin is borrowing that one currently ha. She didn’t have a winter ride for her agriculture job and was going to buy a Jeep. Couldn’t let that slide.

But no, my Pickups have the 22R-E engine in them. The 4 bangers were bullet proof. It was the V6 that ate through head gaskets like mad.

 

Probably from California too...

I just remembered this and actually found the article...

Some twatwaffle bought a brand new Kia Sorento in 2012 and put 20K on it over the course of two years before realizing that they never changed the oil; Just read!

CLICK HERE

The idiot actually says they were used to cars with "oil life monitors" before buying the Kia. I don't need no stinkin' oil life monitor. I don't even have a reminder sticker in my windshield anymore!

 

That thing generally does an ok job but I call BS on their description for two reasons:

1. The 'breather' cap on mine won't stay closed even when sitting flat.

2. If you try to catch the 6 quarts of oil coming out of the truck in that shallow indentation you'll have 3 quarts on the ground. I did.

There's bound to be a better product out there.

 

I really don't think it's THAT uncommon and nowadays plenty of vehicles come with synthetic from the factory. The blonde in reference didn't really hurt the 6.0 bad enough to notice anything wrong.

 

I heard about a 5.7L TBI in a '93 Suburban going boom at 70K because they never changed the oil...

 

Also, did you read the Kia story? I wonder why it started burning oil?

 

I doubt Kia comes with Mobil1. H2's and most Chebies (aluminum engined) nowadays do. (did)
