Out of Warranty oil change intervals

Yes, know the fuel dilution issues with them. Good thing is...Taxi doesn't see much short tripping 😂

Most of my trips...40 min one way..cool down for maybe 2hrs. max..then another 40 min back...that's it

It is what it is, regardless of the reasons. Reasons you assuming, in any case.

I never intend disrespect. My point is many people figure out what works, and if they are smart they stick with it. On the other hand, there are people that seem to have problems with everything. Cars, lawn mowers, power tools, appliances, everything. Some might call them "unlucky", but I have known some of them, I would call them "abusive and/or oblivious".

We can debate for weeks, but I don't think any of us will see any oil related problem, no matter what we do, because it is not about oil, it is about how we care about/for our cars. They are not tools, they are precious collectibles.

I bought 18.5 gallons of oil this week.

And not because all of a sudden I'll start changing it every six months, like the manual for many of them say I must, but some vehicles hold more than others. .

I don’t want to debate, either, but I am interested in hearing your theories on who killed JFK. It was the telephone company, wasn’t it?

I thought it was Hyman Roth that was behind that...(with the help of the Rosato bros.)

Nobody has ever lost an engine to bad oil, so pick the cheapest brand and run it if cost is of concern, otherwise whichever bottle looks prettiest to you.
You’ll lose an engine to too many miles on the oil, have seen that a few times. Never saw or heard of one that lost an engine to old oil… years old oil.

Run the right weight, change it every 10k, you’ll be fine.


If you’re running a significant level of ethanol, and it doesn’t get any miles, you have a different maintenance strategy altogether.

The low miles you guys put on these drives me nuts, btw. Go enjoy the damn things!
