as motoring goes you there's such varied approaches to oil and oil changes , theres the " fear factor " side, whereby they follow manufacturers recomended spec. to the letter , with dire results if you dont heed to them, to the other end of the spectrum those who put their choice of oils in , because theyre not being " conned " by the oil companies, my old boss, the works engineer, never had his oil or filter changed, just topped up ! , I wished I'd asked his reasoning, but at the time I just thought he was stupid, mind you he never had any problems, personally I love to hear personal experiences both good and bad on the subject of oil and relability , oh for the days when you just threw in a gallon of duckhams 20w50 !
