With all this talk about oil change intervals it got me thinking. I have three vehicles, a 1500 sierra, a neon, and a 2002 mitsu galant with the 4 banger. They all have around 100,000 miles on them. They all start fine in the winter except for the mitsu. If it gets really cold the mitsu doesn't want to start even with a brand new battery. Even in the summer it just seems to always turn over a bit slower than my other vehicles have in the past. Would switching to a synthetic oil help this and help cold starts in the depths of winter?
Can I switch a car with 100,000 miles to synthetic even though it has been run on conventional all its life? Thanks in advance. Any advantages/disadvantages to switching to synthetic at 100k?
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
