hurco550 said:Anyhow, I had a boss a few jobs back that was a real piece of work. 4th generation owner of a very well to do machine shop. Every 2 years he would buy a brand new, top of the line GMC pickup. He would always keep it clean and detailed nicely, but would never perform any type of preventative maintenance, including oil changes. His reasoning was "it just has to get me through two years". I feel bad for the poor guy that buys a used truck after he has owned it, I really do.
Kamn said:Having worked as an auto tech for many years, I have all kinds of stories but my favourite was a Chrysler 300 that came in for motor not running with 20,000km on the clock. Put key in and try to start, starter is trying but nothing moving, up on the hoist I drop the oil pan drain plug and about 500ml of goo comes out. This car was a 3 year lease and the lady who owned thought that all she had to do for the duration of the lease was just put gas in it and not do your routine oil changes. YUP, that isn't covered by warranty
GM built the engines LOLRedliner said:Oil has come a long way from the dino droppings of that era, but it still doesn't stop econo boxes from pushing rods through the block.
I have had friends with three cars that did exactly that, poked a conrod through the block. 1999 Chevy Cavalier. 2002 Saturn s2. 1998 Grand Am. What went wrong?
