nothing better for your car than a fresh oil change. you know this when on christmas eve your car is sitting in redneckville, nc suffering from a case of metal chards preventing it from turning over. CHANGE YOUR OIL ON TIME. this post is mostly a reminder for myself. this won't be a problem when my well taken care of lt1 is in.

As with almost anything, it's easier to maintain what you have than to replace it. That goes WAY beyond the automotive/mechanical realm, too.

I dont change my oil, it costs too much. Cant wait to put some N2O on it, yeah. Oh, I figured since tranny fluid is good for about 20K miles, I'd just use it in the motor also.

Vader is right, as usual.
