Love it. Trying to offer the most value for the most money. No talk about government handouts, diversity, equity, loving complete strangers, or any bunk like that.
It was a different time...there were few sealed bearings and manufacturing tolerances meant that oil leaked by the cylinder rings like a highway. Rubber was used for engine mounts and broke down easily and no metal panel was rust proofed. Even in the 1960's we replaced rusted cars every 3-4 years. The Japanese revolutionized cars in the 1970's and built the first versions of what we have today. We expect a car to go 10,000 miles on an oil change, not to rust, and much more. The result is cheap used cars, cars that last for decades without fatal problems, and relatively cheap repairs. I am more concerned about the computers in my current cars than I am about the mechanical aspects.
@@earlyriser8998 Agreeing, to a point. Things today seem over complicated or over simplified compared to the past. Parts outsourced to contractors have their own QC issues. Some things you might work on require tools that cost as much as the single repair would. Of course car manufacturers have learned from the electronics industry, "pay to buy it, pay to use it and pay to give it back." In 2008 I got a Chevy with OnStar standard. It was incompatible with 1st Gen and by 2011 was also outdated. Today I have a '21 Ford that is connected 5 ways from Sunday. But at the rate things become unsupported, will I not be able to use the features I'm using now, not for the failure of the device, but because they simply will stop upgrading my version?
back in those days oil changes every 1000 miles as most cars didn't even have filters and no full flow filters. The old Kendell oil add showed two fingers as to say they had the first 2000 mile oil
Chris, that is the way business works. Google tracks every search and purchase of yours to sell your info to someone else. RU-vid monitors the videos you watch to push certain videos on to your channel. You and your actions are the products they sell. Credit cards and grocery stores track every item you buy to profile you and many others for targeted promotions. Every loyalty card and coupon is a company trying to understand your purchases and influence more. Even I would promote our fish of the day if you came into my restaurant, in the day. And with good service maybe get a larger tip. If you are not trying to increase your margin and keep your customers happy then you will go the way of the great dodo.
The average American car goes around 1200 miles/month. If you do the excessive 5,000 mile oil change quick lube places push, that's a service every 4 months.
