Or the fact that all machines that have ever been built or will ever exist require regular and extensive maintenance and repair when necessary?! Or the fact that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure? Change your oil every 3,000 miles. No more than 5k ever and that is only if you run a high grade full synthetic with top dollar premium filter. Change you trans and all of your gear oil ever 30k, timing belts and all the timing components no later than every 100k that includes front engine seals.

Consideration about engine hours is something I always press people to mind. Yes you may not have driven 10,000 KM on your synthetic oil, you may however have idled it well past that point. Sitting in your vehicle in -30 C with the heat on or +30 C in the summer with the AC on is runtime on that motor. Engine hours are key, you do not need a scanner on older vehicles to have a sense on if you’re over or under. If you’re idling lots, change your oil ahead of your intended schedule. If you own a newer vehicle, set a reminder to half of your scheduled alert. The math is easy to do, do a calculation know where you’re at. Something so crucial is more often than not overlooked.

With the modern engines and full synthetic oil, I change it every 5k miles. The pre 2010 cars I used to drive, I changed the oil every 3k-4k miles and used 1 quart sythetic with 4 quarts regular oil. Hi Milage and part-synthetic oils can be any ratio. Part sythetic can be 99% regular oil with 1% sythetic. So always buy full synthetic, and if you want to, mix it yourself, so you know the percentage. It is very difficult to get an engine back to being clean inside, once the oil changes are not done in time. The saying "runs like a well oiled machine" rings very true with cars.

The worst oil I can recall being in anything I owned at the time. Was a 1984 Datsun/Nissan 720 king cab. Sure it was a $600 wonder truck that needed a carrier bearing, front and rear brakes, new belts, hoses, valve cover gasket, headlight switch and other odds and ends. Most of all was a oil change. First drain from the pan was about chunky with sludge. New filter and oil, ran it for 300 miles. Changed again. More sludge out. Repeat that four more times until the last change it was only a dark amber color. No tar black or lumps. Got criticism for "wasting money" doing oil changes at such short intervals. It was my money for one. Two, that engine came to me with 200k+ miles on it. I put another 180k before electrical gremlins caused a minor fire under the dash that made it not worth trying to repair again. Kinda wish I never got rid of it now, ah well.

I get motors like that all the time too. Never once I have I seen one like that from following the manufacturer recommendations for oil changes (yes even the longer intervals) the only times I ever see that kind of sludge is on motors that have gone literal years and maybe never had an oil change. Not that it can’t happen from various reasons but 99% of the time on the extreme neglect cases. I recently had a Kia 2.4 motor like that. It had 60k on it and still had what was left of the factory oil in it. An auction car, I know big shock, some guy bought. Which was about a quarts worth of an almost liquid and pounds of mud.It had never once had an oil change. That kind of sludge takes extreme neglect like changing the oil after ridiculous miles have passed. Hell when I was in the military and stationed Europe in the early 2000’s they’ve had long oil change intervals for decades there (usually every 12-15k) on the various high mileage beaters I owned and the motors were fine. There’s also no oil change industry in Europe (jiffy lube and shit like that). So take that for what you will. It takes a little common sense if you’re hard on your motor towing all the time etc yeah change it a little more often but the manufacturer intervals are fine using good oil. That kind of more often than not takes the little old lady “you have to change the oil in these I have had it for years and never did” kind of horror stories. That being said it’s definitely not going to hurt it changing it more often but that kind of crap takes extreme neglect 9 times out of 10. I haven’t changed the oil in over 20k kinda neglect.

Most are really ignorant in many things, which is pretty sad. The worst part is that most don't even want to learn... 😞

[@madscientistlife]

Amazing that someone can spend tens of thousands, sometimes 100 thousand on a truck and just not take care of it...

[@MXALOVE]

If the manufacturer is telling you to change the oil every 10K, they want you to buy another engine or car 💀

[@jamiemcclaugherty7688]

Good lord that’s close to the worst oil I’ve ever seen.

[@mistadreadman]

You've seen worse than that??? A diesel brew?

[@Big_AlMC]

You ever seen oil jelly before?

[@DavesAutoCenterCenterville]

Yeah, it's funny. There are a few comments that think that I staged this.😂. Those of you who been around enough vehicles know what I'm talking about.

[@robertelee6712]

I've seen the jelly oil in a 68 C10 straight 6. I couldn't believe it. The crazy thing is it ran great and didn't knock.

Buddy of mine in high school back in the mid 90's asked me to help him change the oil in the truck his dad had recently given him. Said sure and he went out and gathered oil, filter, etc. and came over. Pulled the plug and nothing. We waited a while and nothing. Ended up having to use a stick to pull globs of what I believe was oil some years earlier. When I asked when was the last time his dad did an oil change, he stared blankly for a minute and said, man, I don't think I remember him doing that. So we did that for about an hour when a farmer that knew my dad stopped by and suggested filling it with diesel and running it up to temp and draining again as a flush. My buddy agreed so we did it. Still had a few chunks coming out but looked like oil that time. Put in the fresh oil and filter and he drove that truck for years till a deer jumped the road and finally finished it off. Truck was a 84-85 Isuzu P'UP with close to 250k on it. I guess it's true when they say they don't make them like they used to.

in 1970 my bro in laws 56 pontiac looked like that when my dad pulled the valve cover. bro in law didnt even know where the dipstick was.he owned it for 10 yrs.

[@davidcolclasure23]

He probably saved so much money that he could afford to buy three Pontiacs.

[@JohnKendall-je4rx]

I change oil every time the oil life indicator gets to 50%. My car is turbo charged and has dial cams and variable cam timing. My mechanic said that's the best way to protect my motor.

[@ItzzShazey]

I will never forget when my co worker told me she probably needed an oil change because it had been a while. I told her it can’t be that bad and asked her how many miles has it been since the last oil change. All she said was,” Ummm, I don’t know honestly I lost count after 12,000.” She took my advice about immediately getting one.

[@PrestonSteele09]

I will now look for sludge every time I look under valve covers. Dave should write a book, he is so knowledgeable

[@supdood885]

That’s not a tip, that’s just general knowledge. If you didn’t fill it with sludge, then it shouldn’t drain sludge. It’s pretty obvious.

[@cpt-starfleet372]

If you are smart enough to open valve covers, then you should know already.

Seems like a *Joke to me....🤔 Ig yall missed it. 😭

[@Drumbo1959]

I was beating myself up a week ago for changing my oil A little sooner than normal since then, you've released 2 of these videos And i'm quite happy with my decision making.

[@theshapeexists]

Of course continue doing that. But there's no way an engine will be this bad at manufacturer recommended service intervals.

[@mr.3phase228]

No engine ever blew up because the oil was changed too early.

[@nescockk]

​@@mr.3phase228well said!.

[@jothain]

@@theshapeexists Yeah. They're really long, but not that bad.Don't know, but I think that's something like 2x to 5x service interval to get that bad. Or maybe it's usage of some of those cheap snake oil addons :)

I use to do my silverado every other month on the first never had any problems with her for the longest time

Dave was speechless, that was priceless 😂

[@davidblalock9945]

I use Valvoline full synthetic and charge my oil every 5k miles. My truck thinks it has 40% oil life left, but I charge it anyway.
