Mancala: Oil can be used even for a year plus. Many studies support this. This change change is just to put fear in people. |

Mancala: Thanks for your review. It is a petrol engine Toyota Corolla 2005. About overheat, it did that once or so but stopped after I changed the radiator. I think you are spot on about the timing stuff... My Ramoni told me something about that sometime ago.. Meanwhile, I will scan the engine and share the codes later today pls. |

Post Mortem pictures. Cylinder #1 has both crank bearings spun together. Oil pickup screen is 3/4 blocked with sludge, a mixture of silver from the bearings and baked oil. Oil pan has significant residue of what I’ll call “grease” for lack of proper description. Block will become the base of a center table in my man cave. Cylinder heads will become door stops. Piston and rods will become wall art in my man cave. Crankshaft will become oversized conversation piece in the garage. Egun “waste not, want not” Mogaji ![]() 1 Like

Contumely: The cheapest and best insurance for your car engine is to change its fluids, especially engine oil, at regular intervals. The cost of doing this is negligible vs fixing a damaged engine. Why would you even risk it? No engineer worth their salt will recommend an oil change interval based solely on time. First and foremost criteria is operating conditions. For regular operations, average mileage recommendation is between 3 and 5 thousand miles for dino oils and sometimes up to 15k miles for synthetics. In the recent past, BMW's and Audis had severe sludge problems after going the 10-15k mileage route. For severe operations like occurs in Nigeria, I would not recommend going above 5k without an oil analysis. Severe operating conditions include frequent idling, stop and go, short trips (as opposed to highway cruising), dusty conditions, above or below average temperatures, towing or heavy loads. I have done many Blackstone used oil analyses on vehicles I've owned going between 3k and 7.5k mile intervals. None has indicated any problems, but I am not be willing to go above 7.5k even with normal driving conditions. 1 Like |
