  1. I use regular dino oil. It has improved since the 70's so all my cars lasted as long as "I WANTED THEM" Of course there was the natural oil burners but I knew that before I bought them (British Leyland Motors) and there was a way to reduce the oil consumption by using thicker oil was the usual trick. Engine was not worth rebuilding so just checked the oil level daily as it also leaked. After 3 to 5 years it was time to change to another used car. Buy for a couple hundred and sell for a couple of hundred(fixing I did myself so never calculated the cost of my time or parts into it) , My 07 Honda has a mileage minder as to when to change the oil which seems to be close to 6000miles. I change the oil filter too because it is cheap. Don't care. Use Wally's recycled oil product because it is cheap.

  2.  @Panthers89Fan9000000  "Small engines always use/used carburetors. Small engines need repair more frequently because they use carburetors." Introducing VW 1972 Fuel Injection gasoline 1600cc 4 cylinder. Before them were diesel engines 4 cylinders or 2 cylinder in FARM EQUIPMENT that only worked with non turbo Fuel Injection. I had a 1980VW Diesel Rabbit that I clocked a Million miles and it still ran just fine. Small engines just mean a smaller car. Many European cars are diesel. Peugeot was always diesel. Mercedes is mainly diesel. . As for Ethanol - the gas companies had to get the LEAD out so they need a replacement for Lead so the fuel burns evenly. Ethanol increased the octane and provided an even clean burn (instead of engine knock from preignition)-smaller engine owners try to increase their horsepower by increasing the compression ratio meaning they break down sooner. I don't mess with that cuz I don't care about high performance - otherwise I would have bought a race car (but it is useless at work so got a practical car instead. One that can go "Off road" as well as being on road...and really off the off road (goat trails or I imagine I can fit through there) in the woods on road that were in active use 70+ years ago but now it is overgrown with small trees that scratch the bottom of the car like a belly rub. I never had a problem with carburetors. Easier to get a car to start when you can pour a cup of gas down the carb and fire it up. Only sat for a few years abandoned. Fuel injection =where do I put the fuel to jump start the pig? Never had to do that YET because no vehicle near me that has been abandoned...and old and FREE to fruck with. I have been driving small cars since 1967 so fiddling with them since '67(it is my car to experiment with). Can I fix cars-the old ones yes & the newer ones not so much. Gas or diesel, small engine or Caterpillar bulldozer diesels. I-L4,chainsaws,pancake4,motorcycles 2 stroke,4 stroke I-L6, I-L8, V6 & V8 through PRACTICAL HANDS ON EXPERIENCE. No papers. Don't care. I know when the mechanic is full of B.S. in his assessment to the problem. Some are real wankers. Should try to be politicians. They know just as much.

  3. Huh. Now about oil filters. Is FRAM bad or are other companies just wanting to hurt the company because they can thru negative publicity?
