I'm a nut case over oil, change oil and filter every 3000 miles, and I

Distilled water is actually bad for the radiator.

So how long do your cars last with all this extra work you do?


I don't do "extra work". Being a good Republican I spread the wealth

Average age on my cars when traded in... 12 years (all purchased new
since 1962).
