Totally depends upon how you drive it.

If you're short tripping then yes, change every year or sooner.

If you're allowing the vehicle to run full cycle when driven the majority of time...then it's not a problem.

The oil you use makes no difference here. It all contaminates as well when short tripping.

I feel just like a pretzel this morning. Wrasslin' those tires yesterday was a little taxing.

I also got a flu and Covid shot on Friday - so that might also be playing into my "blah" today.

Guess I should of got my shots, I caught something, just a cough the last couple days. Nothing else, no fever, body aches, not exceptionally tired, not even a sore throat....just a damn cough. Other than that..feel fine. Kind of strange, I usually don't get this stuff.

For $2000? Thats a no brainer even if the motor doesnt run. That would be a 9000 truck in South Carolina

I feel pretty good now... I've just been relaxing all day. Haven't taken a day to rest for a while now.

Probably a 9K truck in AK now too. He bought it 6 years ago, and prices have insanely increased since then - as I'm sure you're aware.

^^^^^ And that's why I think you shouldn't be able to quick-reply in the middle of a thread.

I guess all I had to do was prep the ATV for plowing. Kinda like taking an umbrella and it doesn't rain.

I hope you feel better soon. Sucks getting Old. :P I don't think I was sick even once in my my twenties and a couple times in my 30's. Now if I even get a little allergy congestion, it turns into a full blown sinus infection.

Well ****... my Wife just sent me a text that the A/C on the 2011 Escape is blowing hot air. Never had any issues with the 06.... other than the accident.

Unfortunately, I think this is what has happened to it.
