A few vehicles back, when I started using full synth, I reverted back to my youth and just do the 6 months or 6,000 mile oil change. A little bit easier these days, as you don't have to jam an oil spout into that damned metal topped cardboard container anymore..
You're showing your age and unfortunately mine as well :giggle::crackup:
Also goes back to needing a bottle opener for a soda / pop or beer (though you still need one for some beers nowadays ?).

Give one to some younger people and stand back and watch. Sorta like putting a treat in a toy for your fur kid and watch them try to get it out. At least it keeps them busy and outa trouble for a little bit.
???:crackup::crackup::crackup:

If it doesn't have a twist off top, some wouldn't know what to do ??

This is the reason I don't have any lower right teeth. I was quite the attraction as a teenager when I would open beer bottles with the right side of my mouth much to the enjoyment of my fellow delinquents.

lol My buddy just had his whole mouth done with dental implants, it was just over $35K. The main culprit was from opening Heineken bottles at parties when we were young and dumb. :oops: Luckily I never did that and I told him that's the most expensive bottle opener I've ever seen.?

I started with bottles of soda pop as a junior high student and by the time I was in high school I was a beer bottle opening machine.

This is what I love about this silly forum. I'm reading a thread about conventional vs synthetic oil in our Rangers but I also learn about dental implant costs. Oh, and I'm sure it is purely coincidental that Dave (@AzScorpion) is back.

The only word I come up with is Pre-mad.
It's when you want to go somewhere without telling your SO and you know she is going to make a fuss when she finds out.

I'm using Full Synthetic.
I did my first oil change some months ago according to the owner's manual recommendations.
.
However, my change oil reminder alert thing has came up, and I'm only at 6,000 miles.
.
Do I just reset it until the recommended miles are reached for full synthetic?
