However, there seems to be a direct relationship to you being a Liberal
and a general all-around dumbass.

What the hell's he going to do, change something that he's proven to work
because *YOU* say so?

I'll make a bet with you: I have been running my tC on Castrol Syntec
since *my* first oil change at 12,000 miles, then again at 16,500, and
then again at 21,000. *YOU* guarantee you'll get me a *BRAND NEW* 2.4
liter engine if something goes wrong, and I'll follow your recommendations.

Otherwise, I'll stick to what has been working for me, which is basically
what has been working for Mark.

To replace your ten year old Toyota you will need to come up with around
$30,000. Me thinks that is more likey the reason you are hanging on to one
that old ;)

If you did a search you will discover the real foots are those who change
oil that often. All manufacturers today recommanda 5,000 or more. But
then again with Toyotas "gelling problem" maybe 3000 miles might be a good
idea at that. ;)

Because if he waits too much longer he will need to come up with around
$40,000 the way Toyotas prices are going up. LOL
