'Check your oil level more often? I think not'

Check your oil level more often? I think not

By Karl Carlcroft at 08/27/08 17:41

My father being the man he is, still has to make sure I'm checking my oil on a daily basis. Maybe not daily, but at least weekly. Everytime I stop by my parents' house, he must make sure my oil level is okay. I try to assure him its alright but in his eyes its not.

I can usually go two weeks at a time without checking my oil. And when I do check, the level is always fine. But is it better to check more often than that? I don't believe so. Especially if you have a smaller car like I do. You really don't get much smaller than a 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier.

But my father has a 1999 Ford F-150, so he probably has to check that more often than a little car like mine. Plus my car gets about 15 more miles to the gallon than his truck does, so you have to take that into account.

No trackbacks.

Well, Karlie... is that Karlie Simon? You need to take into account what happens to your engine if you run it without any oil!

Thank god your dad doesn't you $100, $200 or more per month for such great insurance!
