The company I purchase the oil from says that I should keep it FULL over the summer? The guy I sude to service the furnace says it doesn’t matter; even keeping it AS LOW AS 1/4 FILLED is OK What’s your experiance/knowledge?

Forget about mileage. Let’s focus on time.
Is there an oil out there that lasts a year?
I only drive 3000 miles per year.
My owner’s manual says every 5000 miles or six months, whichever comes first.
The car has 93,000 miles on it. I heard that synthetic oils are not good choices for cars with high mileage. How about synthetic blends?
All I want is an oil that is suitable for my car and will maintain its properties for a year given that it’s rarely driven.

I just changed the oil for my 1994 Toyota Camry without changing the oil filter.

Some mechanics I’ve talked to say that it should be changed with the oil every time. Others say that it’s OK if it’s done every other time. Other folks say that it really doesn’t matter.

I just bought a beautiful gently used wood rocker but it squeaks. What is the best oil to use for a good piece of wood furniture? I have olive oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, grapeseed oil, castor oil and mineral oil already on hand. Will any of these work without doing harm to the wood? I’d prefer a natural and inexpensive solution.

I have a large pile of small metal drum parts that are completely covered in what appears to be motor oil. I have removed the oil from the larger parts with Simple Green and a scrub brush but I’m definitely not looking forward to cleaning the smaller parts that way because it’ll be very labor intensive.

Does anyone have any ideas on other ways to remove the oil? Are there any household products that I can soak the parts in that will remove all or at least some of the oil? Boil them? Any products that aren’t too toxic?

Thanks.

What is the different in Synthetic motor oil then regular motor oil? If I use Synthetic oil, can I go back to normal motor oil later on in the future? I got a 2000 Dodge Durango 5.9 engine.

I’ve got a 2001 Ford Focus SE with 69K miles that I’ve had from mile 5 and maintained perfectly. I took it to the shop for an oil change and that night it leaked oil, just one drop, for the first time ever. Each day it got to be a little more, so I took it back and they cleaned the engine to find out where the leak was coming from. That night it leaked so bad it was like a small stream, but it was no longer oil colored but, like vegetable oil. At first they said it was probably the power steering fluid. Now they are telling me its the oil pan gasket. Why is the fluid now nearly clear? Why would it have started leaking the day it was at the shop? Did they sabotage my car so that I’d have to pay the $370 to fix it?

jesswzmn asked:


one car I own usually makes it to the next oil change date..with oil still full and just needing changing, while another car I always have to check to make sure the oil is not low before its oil change date. Why is that?

Also, I am assuming that driving with low engine oil would contribute to transmission problems in a car…is this correct?
