Ha ha. This is ****************ing hilarious. Of course, sample of one proves nothing, but I personally think this car does kind of blow the "change the oil every 3k to save the bearing theory". I never really bought that idea. The bearings are invariable filled with rancid old oil. What the oil is like in the rest of the engine seems high tangential to me!

But what about those 15k oil changes, eh? Makes me feel better about leaving it to 10k last time round! Still think I'll stick to 5k as doubt it does any harm. I just doubt it does much good with modern oils!

Anyway, FloridaBill, good on you. Whether it's luck or design (I suspect mostly luck at the same time as not for a moment suggesting your car is anything but well cared for), it's lovely for the rest of us to see a car with such long legs.

As for the bearing, ignorance truly is bliss!
