So lazy, perhaps I'll go boating.

Before the oil change average PSI was between 30-45. How long should she run 'high' after an oil change?She went from a regular 10W30 to a Valvoline Max Life 5W30.Wife is starting to get a tad touchy about the cost as the brakes, rotars and oil were about 800. Including labor.J

Another 'thought' was that with the 138k on the ticker maybe the lines were a bit clogged and she may need a line change. Might have sludge build up.Mechanically I am thinking in no real orderPlugs and wiresAll lines replacedNew oil pumpNew Water PumpNew radiatorNew CalipersJ

It'll go down once the oil warms up. Something is off. Unless it has an oil cooler, which I doubt, there are no oil lines needing changed. Everything will be internal. Only thing I can think of is they used an engine flush and something got into the pan and the oil pickup. Pull the oil cap off. If there is sludge, you'll see it right away. Check the PCV valve.

No oil cooler. I'll look inside the cap later today. Stupid ? but should I be looking warm or cold?

Doesn't matter. If there is sludge, you'll see it. . . Unless they performed a flush.

E55 managed to average 25 mpg across 550 miles at 100+F with the A/C blowing like hell the whole way...not bad considering how deeply its geared...

[shizzzon 461]

so in terms of mpg to cost, is ethanol saving you money over just regular gas?

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

E55, 550 miles...coincidence? I think not!

I think he means he has a Merc E55.......sweet car btw peng

Ha, no. Even worse when you consider the stupid ass subsidies

Indeed. 25 is surprising, obviously he drives it too slow.

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Pretty much; no more than 10 over the speed limit the whole way

All that horsepower and no room to gallop I guess

Ethanol's a joke

Are you kidding me? Plenty of fucking room, just no desire to get a ticket

[Luke.H 33]

In all honesty I just felt like saying that. It didn't really make sense, but it was dramatic to say the least

American top gear sucked less than usual tonight

Ethanol is great for making power. Not so good for mileage.

You got that right, they are no where near as good as the British top gear which is a GREAT show to watch.

I think that'll be the name of my new boat...
