1. Do you routinely check the fluid levels and tire pressure (including the spare) in your car?
(yes)
no
3. Did you purchase the car you drive, or did someone else, or is it someone else's car?
(mine, purchased myself)
mine, purchased by another
not mine
4. Do you know where the owner's manual is?
(In the boot of the car)
Here is what i think was important from inside the truck.
P255/7OR16SL P255/7OR16SL
16X7.OJ RIMS 16X7.OJ
241/35 COLD 241/35
So what does this mean when i go check the air i put that little thing in my tire and the other sides comes out saying (eg. 25) i have to fill it to what?
IF u still want a picture ill try and get one.
Waaaaghghghg.
5,000-7,500 miles. 3,000 is a number thrown out there by oil companies as the owners manuals say "If driven hard or in dusty conditions change at 3,000 miles" And then it is only to prevent oil filter plugging in the very worst case scenarios.
Mebey if you are using a cheap filter, or cheap oil, then I would do 3,000 miles. I go 12,000 miles or a year and some on synthetic 0W40 and fleetguard filters.
Dump in a quart of standard ATF, the detergents, and carbon dissolving agents will clean up a engine in about 30 minutes of running.
Just don't run the car for long with that in the oil. ATF has higher friction modifier content and can accelerate wear over a extended run.
It will be sold or totally rebuilt this year, and a turbo ethanol conversion is sounding good to me. Aluminum flywheel and a puck clutch.
