If reducing oil consumption were the goal then driving less is the obvious solution. If you were focused on altering your life style so you produced less pollution, you might get to the point where your driving only 2000 miles a year and then you wouldn't be preaching 10000 mile oil changes. Would you? So no i don't think people who preach extended oil changes are really at all sincere about reducing pollution. > > >> >> People that are just trying to give helpful financial advice? > >> > > >> > That doesn't explain the obsession. > >> > >> I hadn't noticed any obsession, but now that you mention the word, I will > >> say that you do seem a bit obsessed with this issue. > > > > What issue?

Should that head gasket let go in juuust the right way, in juuust the right place, and you're looking at... <http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/sludge/22re_sludge.jpg> I'm not sure the age of the oil makes much difference here. -- Tegger
