If I had a car with a warranty I’d feel like I just gave up on life.

 

Wut

 

What wulf said. Dealing with shitbox issues is that makes living to me.

 

Imma wittle slow

 

I thought it was pretty clear, right now he's given up on fixing the vehicles but if they had a warranty he would give up on life as well

 

Clear as it gets

 

wait didn’t you say you’d ran 40 weight oil in your 3.4s?

 

What's the issue with a car with warranty?

 

Yeah, little 15W-40 in the summer is the shit. I run 10W-30 sometimes too, whatever is cheaper. Turbo appreciates the thiccness

 

@Wulf runs 15w40 in all her shitboxes and I haven't heard her blow up a motor yet

 

A reliable vehicle, with the smallest issue (and no warranty) will be the death of him

 

Hey some of them get 5w30

 

I feel that part of my identity is driving an old shitbox. It’s what I’ve always done, and the unique charms and more visceral analogue feel of older cars enriches the driving experience. With a new car I’d just feel like a cog in the machine. It’s irrational but even all the little issues add to the spice of life.

 

Is there a way it could create more oil consumption in an NA 5VZ? I didn’t think so but the point was raised here. I thought 5w-30 and now 0w-20 was more for fuel economy but idk.

 

Man, you've never actually driven a nice car. That's sad.

 

I don't usually equate thicker oil with more consumption. I could see you having more consumption issues with something weirdly thin like 20 or 16 weight

 

Agree, if it's truly burning oil going to a 40 or 50 weight should reduce consumption according to my old shitboxxery spell book

 

For whatever it's worth the plain old orielly branded 10W40 conventional makes my 280k mi 22R happy

 

My gfs Avalon is nice but the payments are bleeding her dry

 

I said nice.

Is it new?
