Who here has been prolonging their auto maintenance?
>mfw no washer fluid for 6+ months
>>14461427
Madman!
I need an engine rebuild but the garage is full of house remod things and wood. metallic flakes in the oil last change and the oil cap will hover above the valve cover if unscrewed
>gale force blow-by
>>14461427
Mfw i never change my oil, i just let the oil leak take care of it and then fill it up when its low
>>14461447
I actually know people that do this. Their 94 Camry that has 200K+ miles, and the only thing they do is top up the oil once a week since it eats through the rest of it.
>>14461468
Im running 190k on the 3g eclipse I'm currently doing this on
My shocks are completely empty and my springs are sagging, feels bad man. Guess my car is stancing it's self.
>>14461427
>wipers are completely dead
>live in arizona
About once every 2 months I'll realize I need to change them, and then not have to worry about it for 2 months.
>>14461427
I've been changing my oil for nine hours.
>>14461655
OP here, that's actually how I remembered that I ran out of wiper fluid, since the morning mist looked like shit with my wipers and when I tried the fluid I remembered I didn't have any.
I'll just buy it this weekend.
>>14461447
I wish this wasn't so sad
>>14461695
The only worthy reply in this thread

>haven't washed car in 2 years
>tires completely bald
>haven't changed oil in 23,415 miles
>>14461427
cute cat OP,
hope you treat it well
>>14461500
Meanwhile my 190k mile BMW doesn't lose a dipstick measurable amount of oil in 5k miles.
Tell me more about the wonders of Nippon engineering.
>>14462296
Tripfag logic:
My bimmer doesn't burn oil
The only logocal conclusion is that this somehow makes the Japanese bad at engineering
OP here, got my fluid in my lunch break. Poor car was thirsty
>tfw can see clearly now
>>14462354
Now the anon that works at that napa is going to reprint your receipt get your name, and mail your cases of hotdogs.
>>14462278
Of course. He's my bitch ass kitty.
>your kitty tho
>>14462363
He was some 50+ year old. Also implying they have my name
>>14461427
i went 4 days not petting my cat, he gave me same look
>>14461447
What about your oil filter?
>>14462400
You paid with a credit card, they either have your name, your dad's name, or the white lady's name you stole the car from.
Did you never work at a POS in your life?
>>14462401
What the fuck is wrong with you senpai
Should probably grind down my rust-affected areas to make it look "ok" again, but at this point I just don't see the point of spending the time or money. I'm either going to replace the doors and other parts of metal affected before I sell it, or just sell it for a bit cheaper
I drove 3000 kilometers with a blown head gasket.
>>14462450
it was experiment. i tried same with pussy of my woman, also same look!
Last time I checked my oil was pretty much about 70k km ago.
>>14462434
>brosifine
Ethan you'd know a thing or two about parts huh?
>>14462296
I had a buick with 500k on the clock and it didn't burn/leak oil. What's your point.
two of my bikes have needed new batteries for over a year
now my car needs a new battery
>>14462354
>NAPA
You dun goofed m8.
>>14461427
who needs washer fluid
I just pour tap water into a bottle, open the window and pour it on the windshield
though it kinda sucks when it's freezing outside
>>14462480
Kek
>>14463368
Rubbing alcohol would be better in any weather condition.
>>14461447
I did this for like 18 months, then sprayed instant gasket over the leak and sold it for more than I bought it for
>>14462212
please be in london
>>14464167
very hard to get because people here are idiots and will literally drink anything cheap that smells like alcohol.
for fuck's sake, we even have certain kinds of washer fluid banned, because retards kept getting methanol poisoning
I don't think I'll ever bother with replacing my front suspension. Sway bar mounting is completely eroded on one side. Also cat thread.
>Short hair is mine.
>>14465288
Nice kitties
Thanks for reminding me. I haven't changed my headlight fluid since I got my car.
>>14461427
>tfw cracked oil pan and leaking vc gasket
bought 4 quarts of oil in the past 6 weeks lol
>>14461427
Transmission mount has been bad for longer than I care to admit
Turn signal/high beam combo switch is janky, moving lever to high beams sometimes shuts the headlights completely off.. been that way for a year or so
It's been about 20k miles since I had my tires balanced and rotated. They're 35" mud tires weighing 60 lbs each, the balance is so far off it shakes the vehicle side to side around 45 mph
Wiring for fog lights has a short somewhere.. haven't gone looking for it
Amp for stereo got wet and fried.. a year and a half ago. No stereo since then.
Wiper blades are falling apart
Windshield has been cracked top to bottom for 2 years
For what it's worth, I've just been riding my motorcycle every possible chance for the last two years and am saving to buy a better vehicle rather than fix what's wrong with that shit box.
Still haven't changed my oil
It's been almost 7,000 miles
I put my RS up on jackstands 4 days ago because I need to drop the tank. Haven't touched it since then. Maybe Wednesday.
I only just changed my motorbike's oil. For the second time ever, after 28000km
>>14461427
I need to do my headgaskets. It was fine until about 400 miles ago (175,200mi) and it suuddenly started using a metric fuckton of coolant. I go through a bottle every 3-4 days now, but unfortunately with school and a job I literally have zero time to do it, I have to drive it every day. Gonna have to wait until spring break and just keep dumping coolant into it until then.
It's strange that it's lasted this long without needing them though, they usually pop by 130k.
I also need to replace my clutch hose, which I actually have been putting off. I'll probably just end up doing it while the engine's out since it'll easier to get to it.
Jiminy fucking cricket people
>>14466564
fix your damn car anon
>>14466564
If I lived in Austin I'd help you, or if you think it would make it to laredo I'll help you, haha
>>14462296
It's not a BMW if it isn't leaking oil
>>14466656
Nah, it won't make it to Laredo, I wish though. I think they blew on the way to that Houston /o/ meet on Jan 16th, which is when it started using a shitton of coolant. I got about 15 miles from Katy and it started overheating, so I had to turn around in case it didn't have enough life left to make it all the way back to Austin.
>>14466639
I already said I literally have zero time to do it until spring break, and I don't have another car I can drive to school. I'm tired of dumping coolant into it but I just don't have time to pull the engine out any day of the week since I work and go to school every day. No days off from both at once. It still runs fine, there's no coolant in the oil/vice versa, it just burns a lot of it. As long as it has coolant in it, it'll be fine.
>>14461427
Bro I fucking stood 9 months without that shit and thought I was gonna die that one time I was next to a truck with no vision and roads narrowing and curving. had to stick my head out the window. that was the last straw.
>>14466671
I think you mean coolant
my door is falling apart again
headliner is still sagging
my muffler fell off, but i like the sound better, literally have the pipe just hanging
running without my o2 sensor unplugged to avoid car running like shit for some reason
driver side turn signal dont work
still have to replace rear shock mounts
windshield is cracked
4000 miles on oil
havent bolted on my front bumper or painted
I have to replace 2 lower control arms, a coolant leak, Make a radiator bracket or get a new rad. change it back to a top mount intercooler because the front mount is busted. Good thing this isnt my DD right now.
One of my cars has two blown woofers I'm slowing getting around to finding replacements for. The oil in my bike is waaay past due. Its winter and I'm too lazy to put a cover on it half the time. My other car the tranny started to grind so I parked it a year ago and now the battery is dead.
>>14461427
Getting my car looked at friday
>oil or some fluid leak
>leaky steering rack
>front control arm bushings shot
>drivers door speaker rattles
Trying to solve a slight idle miss in my old Fox... didn't do it this past weekend cause it was 8 degrees and my Kerosene garage heater was outta fuel...
