Why?
My car makes a sound like a hockey puck, but it's my exhaust falling off
>project failed has been sitting under a car cover in the rain for 4 years
I'm afraid to take the cover off, it's gonna be sad under there

gonna start taking care of it properly because I wanna toegay but I barely know where to start and am poorfag. obviously cleaning I can do, and can hopefully get the cash soon for oil. I don't even know what else is fucked
>>13829611
>>oil change like once a year
wait, you're supposed to change it more than once a year? I put like 2~3k miles on my car yearly
>>138138296
I've always heard 3000 miles or every 3 months. But like I said, idk shit.
Isn't 3k a year a little low? I mean that's probably what this car's got since it's only been going to the store and back, but now that I'm trying to take it longer distances I'll shoot up past that real quick.
>>13829679
I have no idea what post I was trying to quote there
>>13829679
>>13829686
Are you trying to say I live too close to work? Because I do. The majority of my miles are other things.
>>13829679
>>13829611
doesnt really matter about the amount of miles, its how the miles are done.
as for sitting most of the time. just change it like every 6 months, depends on your car and the conditions its already in.
hell my work car does ~35k miles a year and i only change that shit every 6 months.
>>13829651
ideally youre suppose to change your regular oil around 3k miles, if synthetic you're allowed to hit 5-7k. However if you don't reach either figures it should be twice a year.
>>13829735
>>13829725
>>13829679
Well I know what I'm doing tomorrow now
>>13829711
yes, into multiple hour commute
Nah, just the last car I owned myself and actually drove went at least 18k a year.

Never again.....girls are just....wow....
>>13829651
>>13829735
You should change your oil every 3 months, or 3k miles, whichever comes first.
>>13830311
u kids r literal fags.
>>13830340
brosifine pls go
>>13830340
Bruh, I'll ask again, why are you always so fucking mad all the time?

It's called aspergers syndrome

>>rotor has never been changed, seized badly, took 3 strong guys and a blowtorch 4 hours to get off
>4 hours and a torch
So, did you spend 3 hours and 50 minutes jerking each other off?
Hit it, break it if you have to, get it fucking over with.
>>13829118
Anyone who drives in salt knows it doesnt get all over the windshield like that. It looks like you dumped a bag of flour on your car.
>>13829191
Because you're a fucking filth. Your car has rotting food and garbage in it? You're too cheap to spend $20 on an oil change? You may as well be a bum living under a bridge somewhere.
Can't really say I know that feel. I always take care of my cars.

He would do something about it, but he has two motorcycles with him on campus so he just loans the car out to whoever needs it at the time. Sort of has become my personal car over the semester/maybe considering I've put 1500 miles on it I should fix it up before I go home for the winter
Dad has a 68 firebird convertible and a 71 cuda sitting in trailers waiting to be restored. Haven't been touched in 5 years since he got them
>>13829651
You change it when the owner's manual says to change it. 1 year or x miles is common for normal use. Some severe duty cycles require 6 months or <x miles.
>>13829368
The sound of a slapshot
>>13829118
>Car covered in salt dust from Winter
I'm this faggot. I don't know how often to wash my car to clean that fucking shit off.
>>13830974
>8 quarts of $9 oil
>$15 filter
>$20
I think your math is a bit fuzzy. Best I can figure is $92.22 after sales tax. That's if you already have the pan, and any other bits you may need.
>>13831268
Most owner's manuals don't say you HAVE TO change the oil ever. They only suggest an interval that you should maybe think about using. Seriously though, they've been sued because people blew up their engines due to the manual not saying you HAVE TO change it.
>>13830338
Sure thing, Exxon.
>>13831362
What are you using royal purple? If I had to guess you have a ford or Toyota truck. Super tech 5qts for 12$ at Walmart, 20-25$ if you want synthetic, still only 45ish dollars
>>13831417
Mobil 1 full synthetic. Manufacturer specified by BMW.
>>13831250
Is it just me or are cars like this actually inspiring? I was sad to sell my Accord yesterday even though:
>210000 miles
>Steerimg alignment off from hitting a curb, put in a new front steering support
>Both side view members taped on
>Leaking oil
>Leaking power steering fluid
>Dents all in the motherfucker
>Sometimes it gets stuck in park and you gotta hit the super secret button to get it in drive
>Front seatbelts replaced so SRS light always on
>Compressor burnt out so no AC
>Leather is ripped to fuck on drivers seat
Despite all of it, the car kept going. I'm sad that someone else will witness its eventual death rather than me who kept it limping along for years. I was proud and a little scared to be driving around in this super nigger rigged contraption day after day without fail.
>>13831437
side view mirrors
>>13831443
I actually read it as mirrors the first time, didn't even notice the mistake.
>>13830311
Please tell me more about the kitty in pic
>>13831447
Wow so did i
>>13831437
>>13831443
I know it was probably auto correct but god damn my sides, I just imagined a clapped out accord with dildos taped where the side view mirrors uses to be.

anon pls
>>13831362
>this fucking retard
Really nigger? Really? You think it's better to go 15,000mi without a change than to put some wal-mart $2/qt oil and a $5 oil filter from vatozone in there?
Kill your fucking self

15k miles is an *average* oil change interval for high end european cars.
protip: they can be longer than 15k miles

>raleigh
Americaitlin detected.
In Europe, where the cars are made and where the OCIs are high, they use proper Synthetic motor oil that is actually PAO/POE synthetic, and not bullshit amerilard GrIII fake synthetic. And with a 12 liter sump, those factory OCIs are perfectly fine.
You ever notice where cars fail the most is burgerworld? Where everyone is fat, ignorant and stupid?
>>13832081
You either don't know what the mathematical definition of average is or you're just trying to flim-flam people about uro superiority
I wish I had a car that does 200mph+ :( get that thing fixed up!
>>13832103
>get proven wrong with factual stuff
>HURR DURR MURRICANS ARE STUPID AS FUCK AND CANT DO ANYTHING RIGHT AND THEY DONT HAVE REAL SYNTHETIC OIL AND THEY'RE STUPID AND I HATE THEM AND LOL AMERICANS YOU'RE SO FUCKING STUPID
Try harder, babydick.

It is better, actually. You're not a car person, are you?

Prove it.

let's back it up

That's an abandoned car in probably Dubai. Motherfuckers lose all their money and then split leaving everything behind to escape the debt they've accumulated.
>>13829552
>>13831290
with stick breaking or no?
>>13832081
My BMW recommended that interval. I said, "Fuck Ze Germans." and did it at 5k anyway. 3 oil changes in my shop were less than a single at the stealership anyway.

Yeah funny story actually. We didn't know she was a squirter and she made a huge mess on my bed, i fucked up and kept laughing about it and she got reallad and called me a kid and told me to grow the fuck up, haven't talked since...i went full autistic there i admit.
>>13831471
Das my cat, i found her under a csr in the rain crying her lungs out, i took her home bathed her and ended up keeping her. Funny probably the only thing keeping me from going insane lol along with my fun.
>>13833429
>laughing about it
virgin detected
>>13833475
Nah i was laughing because it smelled like pee kinda and she got upset because she said it's embarrassing and won't shutup about it
>>13833475
>virgin detected
u wot m8
Laughing at the end of sex means you are clearly not a virgin, by virtue of just having had sex
>>13833526
That's because it was pee
>>13833475
>>13833556
My mom hasn't changed her oil in 40k miles.
>>13833605
Fuck off underageb&.
Or do American women really text like they're 15?
>>13833875
Some of them, shes like not that smart senpai. Shes 23 though.
>>13833919
Picture it like this.
Good looking <--------------------------------------------------> Intelligent
>>13829118
OP's pic reminds me of when this habbens to my car
Big ol' palm tree decides to orgasm all over the Ferd. Then get inside, AC starts blowing and pollen all over inside.
>>13833991
Never knew it snowed in Australia.
>>13833964
>implying she was even good looking
face it man you got dumped by a dumb ugly fat chick
>>13834037
Lol k, we weren't even together, and she wasn't ugly and fat. Come to america m8, youll see that the intelligence or good looks must contradict
>>13834033
That's the thing, it Florida and it doesn't snow. That is pollen from the palm tree. There are giant pods of it that will fall off randomly and coat my car with it.
>>13834082
I know, I read your post..... It was a joke.
And we had insane pollen in SC when I lived there too.
>>13834248
When I went outside and saw that, it was like 5am and I thought it was snow. I was so fucking confused because it was 75F.
>>13832081
>Found the trophy wife in the white A-Class that chugs like the Flying Scotsman
>>13834273
I've dealt with both. I'll take the pollen. I now live back where I grew up, and we get snow, but not much. Usually about an inch a few times a season, then it'll go up to sixty the next day and disappear. Then last winter the weather man said there was going to be snow, so I ignored it and went to bed. Wake up the next morning mull around wasting time having coffee. I peek out the window to check for attackers before taking my dog out. TWO GOD DAMN FEET OF WHITE BULLSHIT. I lost 4 days of work, and has nothing in the house to eat because bachelor life, so I also lost 20 pounds.
I guess my point is, I would much rather just wash my car more often.
