Is it time to change the oil?

Discuss....

Not mine.. Found on Facebook...

 

If the question "does my oil need to be changed" is asked.....it needs changed

 

If that thing was still running then I have gained a whole new confidence in mine.

 

Good for another 10k or so

 

Only other motor gunked up that bad that I ever recall seeing was a 57 T-bird that ran Mobil straight weight 30 non-detergent.


That was back in 1959 when I was wrenching at a Texaco station in Kansas, yes kiddies old gas stations back in the day did mechanical work, filled you tank, checked your oil & fan belts washed your windshield and ck'd the air in the tires. It was called a full service station, damn I'm old

 

That thing has been short tripped to death.

 

Wish it was still like that! i hear stories about it all the time and you cant get service like that anywhere these days.

 

Add some oil stabilizer and you will be good for another 10k. Who changes the oil in a 4.0 anyways.

 

Amzoil I bet, they tell you it can go 1,000,000 or so easy between changes

 

That's gnarly.

 

Audi tt 88k never had a oil change

 

The oil is reverting back to dinosaur poop!

 

lol, I took those pictures. That motor was in a Jeep that I purchased to part out. The motor would start up and run as long as I kept my foot on the gas. Though, while it was running it sounded like there was a bag of hammers bouncing around in the oil pan.

 

Here's what's currently left of the Jeep. The engine in question is the one sitting on the ground in the bottom right of the picture.

 

Lowrange, I'm curious what the bottom end looked like.
