Oil changes



I hate these things.

Not everyone drives the avg of 13-18,000 miles a year.

I short trip my car, oil breaks down way faster, hence why I need to change it every 2k.
 
I run Mobil 1 which is supposed to last like 5-7k miles I think. I still change it every 3k miles.
 
Change mine every 3000 with mobile 1. Stock up when it hits 19.99 for 5 qts they go on sale four times a year at this Walmart.
 


I like a clean engine.

Did anyone see pictures of noobs engine from his LIM job?

That was scary.

Also note that engine died shortly there afterwards.

If I follow my oil change indicator, I still get the magical 3000 mile oil change intervals.

Don't you love people who don't change their oil?

Here's the most recent shot of my lifter valley at 90 K miles.

judging by the way my rockers looked, my lim valleys gonna need a puddy knife and 4 cans of brake cleaner. and a box of rags to clean it up.

its been getting a oil change every 3,000 since i got it, but the last owners neglected it good.
 
Scott..that stuff comes out..the same way it went in. Slow but sure. I've bought cars that had a little gunk in them...40K later..they were super pretty.
 


WOW, damn Bill, im not sure if i should say your LIM is super clean or if the other guys LIM is super GUNKED.....LOL

But yeah, oil & filter change routinely is the key.....and even a gunked motor like that could revive itself with some intense oil & filter changes(like every 1k miles) or otherwise regular oil changes(3k-5k miles) but most likely would take a lil longer to clear up....

Bill, look like you licked that Mooottthheerr Fuuccckkkeeerrr clean....LOL
 
120k on mine and mine looks better than Matt's. Just a hint of caramel color.

NEW THREAD!!! EVERYONE POST SHOTS OF LIFTER VALLEY!

Cam swap, front O2 sensor is in the crossover.

What??? I was so unaware that, that has to happen for a CAMSHAFT...So would I have to move the S1 upstream O2 sensor for a VS CAM upgrade???

And Y is this necessary?

And how would the S1 O2 sensor get a accurate reading on bank2?
