Q: on mon 26 feb 2007 212247 +0930 jmc nogroupsspam@nojodibody.homeus wrote ive suddenly realized its been about a year since my last oil change. dont panic now for almost three months of that time my truck was sitting on a ship visiting parts of the world ill never see. the rest of the time its done well less than 5000 miles. problem is due to circumstances beyond my control including a probably lack of compatible oil filters oil wont get changed till end of march. probably have less than 100 more miles - we dont drive much or far. so am i damaging my engine with old oil or is the # of miles more important jmc oil last forever. it is the detergents in the oil that break down. it the detergents that suspend the grime and dirt. just like soap in dishwater. the grease and dirt are still there but the detergent suspended them. when this happens the dirt is no longer being washed away from the wear points and is allowed to work on metal. moisture also gets into the oil. that will do damage in that it separates the oil from itself. myself it isnt the age you need worry about but the moisture in the engine. salt water air in the crank will leave salt in the engine. or if it was fresh water you still would have moister. that will be mixed with the oil when you fire it up. if you think i am full of it

on mon 26 feb 2007 132941 gmt max dodge max340@verizon.net wrote i suggest a good synthetic oil be used in your case. synthetics dont have a natural breakdown and react well to long term storage. i am not sure where you are getting your data but several factors are involved in usefull oil life and regular motor oil can last for many years on the shelve and has not automatic 1 year and its not good. when it sits ina engine for a long period of time it can fall prey to moisutre condensation from climate changes which will contaminate any oil dino or syn. syn oil takes longer to break down for thermal and shearing stress but they both get dirty. generall if you do not drive much you should change it at least once a year even if it is only 1000 miles and better still would be twice a year in the spring to remove winter condensation and byproducts for cold starts and fall to have fresh oil before cold winter sets in. okay let the trolls come out and try to find fault here with this. ----------------- thesnoman.com .

id have to guess that the wealthy lds folks own business which employ other lds folks. most of what lds church does dispenses money such as humanitarian aid. if the lds church has a pile of money its cause of tithing and donations. which corporations do you think the lds church owns -- christopher a. young you cant shout down a troll. you have to starve them. .. stormin mormon wrote its my understanding that the lds has no paid clergy. we do however have paid custodians. thats not the issue. the lds owns numerous corporations as a major part of its funding source. do the very wealthy lds leaders get their money mostly form non-lds operated methods .
