Holy shite where the hell do you get your oil changed? Most places I know do that shite for like $30-$40.

You are a fcking tard. I don't even feel like telling you why.
You should have paid $75 for your oil change though to make your stupid story better.

So are you telling me you had some type of leak, twice, where you lost all your oil during a long drive?

Yeah, when you work at random well sites that are a couple hundred miles away down dirt roads things tend to shake loose, like I said though, at 40k miles a year more problems tend to arise..

The Federal Reserve System is the biggest racket ever created, nothing comes close.

You're paying to be able to sit inside your vehicle with the a/c on, radio playing, wearing khakis and a polo while someone else changes your oil in 10 minutes.

Paying people to do what you can do is insane.

My Jag recommends every 16,000 miles or annually.

The combined trade in value of my last two vehicles wasn't over $3k, but you do learn to start checking the oil more at gas stations while you are filling up..it only takes a minute to save some serious money

I have 160k miles on my 4 banger Honda. I could drive an OT baller but it's become a point of pride.

Anyway, paying up for the scheduled maintenance has paid dividends in the long run.

Those are both equipped with warning lights for oil problems.

And, the engine would hear up and also warn you with a light.

You aren't retarded, but you're close, very close

Oil level monitoring only recently became common.

If you're going 70 down the interstate and the low oil pressure light comes on because the pan is empty, that engine is smoked. You'll never stop it fast enough at that point.

You seem to know a lot about the vehicles I drive, are you the person who changes my oil? And define an engine "hear" up, again, while I own a vehicle I am no expert. but you seem to be quite the mechanic

I usually push mine to 5000. It's easier than trying to do it myself in an apartment complex.

Didn't have time to change mine myself so I went to delta world tire. My check engine light came on so I'm running a scan tool and while I'm doing that I pop the hood and find out the bastards didn't secure my oil cap. shite almost fell off.
