Haaaaa!!!!...this is the first time I've changed the oil in my winter beeter..(had it for 3 yrs..I'm so ashamed...not really!!) and I only changed it cuz the seal on the oil filter was so rotted when I turned it over for the first time in 7 months it blew out the filter seal!!! Ha ha ha...I don't care about cars I drive in the winter...kinda like demolition derby cars.
thats not good. my mazda was my first car, i got that when i was 16. now im 19 and i got my e60 about 6 months ago. i babied my mazda just like i baby my e60. plus my mazda is flawless no problems what so ever almost 10 years old 107k on the clock and it runs like a dream. i just did a full tune up to it this last summer plugs, wires, rotor and cap fuel filter etc... also did a full brake job including rotors. in 2 years it is going to be handed down to my little brother who is going to start driving. im going to save up 5-8k to buy a e39 winter car in the next 2 years.

sorry about my life story lol i just like to take care of the things i have. i dont think many 19 year olds know the value of a dollar like i do. i work to hard for my money just to throw it away.

Much respect for you...19?...I was driving a 89 hyudai excel at 19!!!(32 now).... But regardless of the fact I bought the winter car knowing I could" YouTube video it" when I got ready. That's good you take care of your automobiles in such a way at a young age. I took care of my hyudai the same way.... But I bought this car for the winter not caring if it made it to the next year.....it's a throw away vehicle.

i will have the 550 detailed the first wwek of december, slap a battery tender on it, put the cover on it, put it on jack stands, and drive my F-350 till spring. Fortune seems to favor the foolish, and body work is much cheaper on the Ford.

When the snow begins to fall, just to be safe I'll probably park the XI in the garage and just ride my motorcycle to work!
