Determining oil change intervals via analysis

It seems our resident spoon, Elmo, didn't see fit to post what the site
thought the problem was. Makes sense. Is it correct? Who knows, other
than Toyota.

We're splitting hairs over the definitions of "ensure" and "insure." Is
there a point to this?

 

Thanks for stopping in, Ian. I haven't been over to the GM forums lately
since my time away from GM is now getting larger and larger.

I left GM not long after the introduction of the latest
Trailblazer/Envoy/Bravada. As I recall, these vehicles had the oil life
monitor that would go as high as 10k miles. My concern was that it was
possible to get oil sludge and clog the passages to the variable valve
timing mechanism. Have there been any problems with this, and if so, did
the owners appear to change the oil as recommended?

 

Thats why I alwas say DRIVE the car, floor it to get on the free way,
and rev that bitch, they love it. My 94 accord has 147,000 miles, dont
butn enough oil between chenges to even worry about!
