That's fine. My point earlier was a learning moment for the other person. Thank you for saying it in a respectful manner.

I can never take anything you say seriously now that I know you've used a crusher washer 7 times in a row. It's ludicrous.

Let it go. There's no coming back from using a crusher washer 7 times in a row. Sucks to have an innocuous comment discussed in that manner isn't it? Next time, don't be a smart arse. Take the lesson and move on. There's nothing left to see here.

I'm surprised about your remark because I've come across some of your other posts and the story it tells me is that the position your coming from appears to be on the more thrifty side of things. Using a crusher washer 7 times. Now that is ridiculous. You purchased a car worth tens of thousands...

Your on your own mate. In the recent words of Larry David "none of your fricking business" lol

there's never ever any justification for that behaviour. Period.

You own it. Don't pretend it's a joke. That behaviour needs to be called out. Don't hide behind "oh I was only joking"

I disagree with your take, though I appreciate your right to say it. The prior remark was smart arse and a back handed compliment.

Thank you for your backhanded compliment. I really appreciated you being a smart arse 👍🏼

I know I'm going the extra mile. It's just a bottle of oil. No one is getting rich off it or going broke lol

All I'm doing is being extra careful. And if I can afford the second bottle of oil to do that, then that is my prerogative. End of story.

If by NONE you mean that you have inspected every single engine that's had trouble, then yeah, your right. It's NONE.

Good for you, however, I'm sure there have been lots of people on this planet who have had engine trouble lol

it's also absolutely ridiculous that I haven't had any engine trouble 😜

I'm sure it contributes, however, to my eye, it appears to be more darker than just left over oil in the filter.

I can only share what I have observed and smelt. I used to do 0-20W oil changes and I could always smell a heavy amount of fuel in the oil. I even called my wife over once just to make sure I wasn't going crazy becuase I hadn't smelt that in any other car I've ever owned. I then went to Shell...

I use Shell 0-30W and for me it's 10,000kms between changes (6,200 miles)

Yep that's exactly what I do and I change the oil filter on the second one. Sometimes I'm amazed at how dirty that second drain still is. Just an eye test of course, I don't send it in to a lab or anything.

Can you tell me more about the adding diesel trick? Did it work without ruining the engine? Just curious because when I was a kid my science teacher told us about it. Just wondering if you can confirm that it worked for you?

I drain and refill my oil out twice in a row to make sure as little or none of the old oil is left in there. My Uncle taught me that growing up. Whether he was right or not or wasteful or not, I don't know, however, I've never had any engine trouble with cars I've owned.
