Advice and opinions

[wyntrout]

We see a lot of this here. Some people offer good advice based on experience and others are quick with opinions or justifying their own opinions and choices. This comic strip reminded me a lot of what we see on here. Quite often I don't join in or stop after a rash of ill-thought out opinions are thrown about.



Not aimed at anyone in particular, but a lot of "sniping" goes on that doesn't help anyone.

This group seems pretty good about not being all snippy (unless I've missed something). My Jeep club however, sheesh the constant bickering gets old.

It just isn't confined to these pages, it happens everyday in everyday life................................I really don't let it affect me much.......................you know what they say about opinions. I have seen what seemed to be rational thoughts and opinions based on experience on these threads, to find out that it was a bunch of baloney. Each of us has an opinion and an experience. Your going to think and do what is right for you, no matter what you read or hear. It's humans at their finest, or not. I wouldn't worry too much about the sniping..................it won't end, just as it won't end in the world. People use forums for all different reasons. Just don't let it get to you........

I thought the comic was funny and true... kind of. I didn't mean to imply that this forum is any more or less affected by people who post before thinking. it's not like I haven't, but I do hang back a lot more these days.

I see a lot more on some other forums and there are a lot of regular "snipers" spring-loaded to respond. I usually take time and look for info and pictures, so I'm not the first replier... maybe a page or two behind! Sometimes it's like stirring up a hornets nest, but I'm not pointing a finger at anyone or suggesting anyone shut up. This is my favorite forum and I check it often during the day and chime in sometimes.

Mainly, I just wanted to post the Dilbert comic.

My dad has a corvette and said the corvette forum he is on is FULL of know it all experts. Just them what the best motor oil is.

Mobile One! I've been using synthetic oil since the 70's and my buddy sold Amway products.

I looked at a Corvette once. They wouldn't let me get too close, guess they must have thought I was homeless and looking to get out of the weather or something.

I think the oil is directly related to the color of the car.

Ive been using that for years.

I lived in Texas back in the early 80's when american vehicles were less than reliable and knew a guy that had an old truck. I asked him how many miles he had on it and he said 259,000. When I asked how many times he had the engine rebuilt he said never and it didn't burn any oil either. He said his secret was not the oil but how often he changed it. He did his every 2000 miles or less. I guess it worked for him.

Mobil 1 ... But that's just my opinion.

Mercedes, BMW, AUDI, PORSCHE, VOLVO all have a sticker under the hood. MOBIL ONE.

I ave run Mobil One V-Twin in my Harleys since they came out with it and prior to that Mobil 15-50 Mobil One, . I have had run 3 different times an oil analysis on my One harley that now has 51K miles on it, bunrs not a drop of oil in 5K miles, and the oil analysis would blow your mind. We sold Mobil products for over 70 years, so naturally I am a Mobil fan BIGTIME, but it is simply the best but I will tellyou that if you change your Mobil One at 5K miles, u are pissing away good money, as the oil is by my professional done analysis, still at 90% effectiveness. My Porsche and Mercedes each takes 8 quarts, so I don't change any earlier than 10K miles. Your not hurting ur engine my friends, but if u have peace of mind in changing at 2K or 3500, then its only money. Let no one ever tellyou that all syntheticvs are alike, that is pure unadulterated bul sh!t. Amsoil is anutter darn good oil, but it outta be, as they buy their base product from MOBIL and then add theire own additives. In the auto industry these oil makers are guided by limits as to what they can actually put in their oils for additivbes. Thats why most racng oils are built differently. I can tellyou that Mobil One 15-50 that u buy over the counter is not the same as Mobil One 15-=50 racing oil, which is not realy available over the counter...

They can put alot more friction modifiers in these special blend racing oil, where as EPA doesn't allow over a certain amount in oils for our vehicles...
