Possibly also about how you "have a very special set of skills" and "will find them."

We have a few around in NW Oregon and they're all in Home Depot parking lots for some strange reason.

If you're trying to watch 4k content in a browser, AFAIK, Edge is the only one capable.

I argued with a woman on Facebook who said this very thing. She told me the economy was excellent when Trump left office and posted a graph of the DJIA that ended in 2018. When I posted the rest of the graph showing it down in January 2021 and brought uo Trump's stimulus checks, she claimed "it was the Democrats fault for shutting the economy down" while still sticking to her original argument that the economy was excellent.

I swear these people have severe brain damage.

You should have told that to those guys 2025 years ago.

I know it's "cheap insurance," and I'll never convince you otherwise (nor do I intend to -- you do you), but it's really just a waste of money/oil with modern synthetics. Even if you stretched it out to just 5k you'd be saving almost half as much oil/money while maintaining the same protection. Using a quality filter (factory OEM, Wix) is important too.

I've put around 180k miles on my Toyota in the last 9 years with 9k-10k intervals and it runs great as well with a sparkling interior under the valve cover.

Whether he sees the error of his ways or not, he'll still have to counteract the damage by changing his policies. He'll blame it on Clinton or whomever, but the result is the same.

Yeah that's likely what everyone else thinks too. Someone has to start the discussion 😆

I believe 19k on modern engines with modern oil but have a hard time believing they recommended the same on many vehicles pre ~2000 when engines and oil were much less robust than they are now.

I also run around 10k miles between changes, but newer engines (2013 Camry) are much easier on the oil than a straight-six from 1992 so I'd be hesitant to push it quite as far without doing an oil analysis. You could also just change the filter and keep the same oil at 5k then change both at 10k (again depending on how dirty the engine makes it).

Why's this guy doing oil changes every 3k miles on his Jeep? Just spend the extra $5 for synthetic and push it out to 5k+ miles.

Edit: this does seem interesting but I think it would work better as a smartphone app that syncs with your home server. I drive a lot for work and it would be a huge pain in the ass to continually track mileage and whatnot on my desktop (or presumably from a webui on my phone but only in range of my wifi).

This reminds me of when Kmart bought Sears.
