5k or 10k oil change. Need your opinion

Just kidding. Happy Thanksgiving

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

No shit, right? THIS is why we can't have nice things!

 

Be honest. How many of you had their blood pressure go up just reading the subject line. Mine went up just typing the subject line.

 

I hate-liked this post, because you got me, but don't confuse it as me actually Liking any of this.

 

Happy Thanksgiving buddy. Plus we all know the answer is 5k

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I fell for it too!

Happy turkey!

 

Here's a good one for you all, since I'm visiting family for Thanksgiving.

My dad is a firm believer in high mileage oil, to the point where he checks the oil at 10,000, and if it still looks good, lets it go another 5,000 miles. I don't know if he ever pushes it to 20k, but I don't know the last time he changed it at 10k.

Gives me confidence that whatever we do here will be plenty...

(149,000 miles on that Camry and runs like new, knock on wood). Probably helps that it's the hybrid, and therefore doesn't idle.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!... 5K

 

Oh it definitely did. Happy Thanksgiving! And, good one...

 

If the turkey sees its shadow, long winter, change at 5k, otherwise 10k.

 

5k! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

 

5,000 and new filter. Did first at 1,500-
Got sludge and metal flakes out.

 

Since the dipstick is going the way of the dodo, be thankful of the dipstick you have and maximize its usage - extract the oil from the dipstick tube instead of draining the pan.

 

Nope. This post was a joke. We are not going to do this. It’s a way to wish everybody a happy thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving!

 

With how analytics are used in computer software-land I wouldn’t be surprised if someday we’re repeatedly using the dipstick to trigger the sensor when the metrics are sent to the mothership to get those stupid internal usage numbers up and safer from stupid numbers-focused management.

Mozilla has done this before with Firefox, claiming low usage numbers from analytics reporting as a reason to remove a feature - of course it’s more likely to be used by those who turn off analytics.

This effectively shifts some blame/responsibility from the company to the users too, another perk.

“Oh, you disabled your DCM? It looks like low usage numbers to us, goodbye 4L!”

Of course this is not reality today and there isn’t a dipstick-installed sensor but the thinking can be applied elsewhere.

 

Cheers everyone.

Enough about oil. I really like the look of those little ladders. Is it okay to get one? Even if I don’t have a roof rack?

I just thought I’d ask, as @morfdq has decreed that we’re doing April fools on Thanksgiving.

 

It’s only acceptable if you have raptor lights.

 

Don’t change it, Dinosaurs didn’t….

 

I use Turkey gravy, change once a year.

 

I saw the title, then saw the username, and thought WTF? I gotta click this. LMAO!

 

I change my oil daily, after every commute.

 

Everything else in the world has gone to crap besides motor oil somehow (I’m trying to make a conspiracy)

 

My favorite holiday.
I'm thankful for the site, the mods, and all the members.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

 

I change oil once a year. Serious.

 

My blood pressure went down.
Now I gotta go back and talk to my family members.

 

Florida Man did 10k oil changes. Don't be Florida Man!
