    Do you change your underpants when you change the car? Asking for a friend.

    I change oil every day.
    That's why my vegetables and proteins taste great.
    My usual oil is extra virgin olive oil, but I also use avocado oil and grapeseed oil sometimes.
    Before you ask: no, I don't use One Gallon Wet Platinum Lube in my dishes.

  • Usually I use sun flowers oil and I change it every day

    I also like extra virgin olive oil, especially the ones that made in Italy or Spain.

    Weird question on LET. Depends what the oil type is. Fully synthetic motor oil can last longer than mineral oil.

    Vegetal oil has to be consumed every day as already mentioned. Don't put it in your engine, though. From the very little I know about @yoursunny I'd say that he probably is one of the top let members on this topic. :wink:

    Every year or 10,000 miles; whichever comes first.

    Newer engines (with fully synthetic) from the past couple of years can do about 15-20k and alert you when it needs changed.

  • wait what? now server need oil?

    It is very important to change your oil within your skull once every 6 years.

    The best kind of oil, as far as I am aware, is nutmeg oil. But it's very expensive. The second best is banana oil which is rather hard to come by.

    Whatever you do though, do NOT change your brain oil on your own. There are 666 people who end up killing themselves by accidently poking into their brain while changing their oil every year.

    Nutmeg oil is the best either way.

    Nigh is the end.

  • Eh, whenever I feel like it. I don't count the kilometers. I change oil at least once very two months regardless of how much I travelled. My cute Kei van runs just fine.

    I use Olive Oil. Never had to change it since.

  • Depends on which car.
    My daily drivers gets an oil change every 10000km. I always use a good oil with the recommended specifications, currently I got a good deal with Liqui Moly so that's what I use mostly at the moment.
    The racecars rarely stay together long enough for an oil change to be needed, when you eject a piston or rod every 2 weeks or so the oil gets changed often enough anyway. :smile:
    I've got an old beater too that just refuses to die, it gets an oilchange maybe once a year with the cheapest crap I can find. It's only used to haul tires and parts between the garage and the storage anyway, a distance of maybe 200 meters. :lol:

    Extra Virgin Oil is the best, Especially when they make it out of virgins.

  • do servers need oil change? I didn't know!

  • Bikes; semi-synth, or mineral depending on its manufactured date - every 6,000 miles or approximately 3 years, whichever first. F'kin expensive MA grade oil for bike wet clutches.
    Car; whatever crap the local workshop puts in it - every 10,000 miles/1 year, or so.

  • Pennzoil Platinum 0W-20, every 5,000 miles or so which is a year for me. My engine doesn't like it being once a year, though. It runs rougher after 9 months. All city miles, no freeways here.

  • MobileOne fully synthetic, every 8000-10,000 miles.

  • Every <4,800 kilometers for my vespa lx 125 iget

  • about 7500 miles, 5w-20 synthetic
