Nothing beats a good regular maintenance routine. NOTHING! That means changing your oil regularly!
There are posts full of information on oils and oil filters on this forum and there is just flat no excuse for not keeping your oil changed. That doesn't mean buying the cheapest .49 cent oil at Wal-mart and Fram oil filters, but if that is all you can afford it is better than leaving the sludged up oil in the engine for years on end. 
gmyoyo, Please don't mistake this for a lecture, but please consider this as friendly information sharing to others in hopes of preventing this from happening to someone else. |
I didn't take it as one...lesson learned (the expensive way)...funny, I always wanted to be aposter child for something positive, but surely this is not it!!!!
