ask yourself why ?
please comment below.
lol
in my line of work i get hire cars very often. do i treat them with respect?
do i fuck
one instance:
i picked up a brand new 2.2 mondeo tdci
it had just 13 miles on the clock.
its about a 20 min drive to the motorway from work, traffic etc so not caining it.
got it nice and warm, and with about 30 miles on it it was motorway time. wound it up to 140+mph lol, got home and realised it had 6 gears pmsl
anyhow, it went like fook, didnt have any probs at all with it.
but if it were my car, asda do oil for £2.74 for 5L of 20/50
use the cheapest, shittest oil you can buy. take it easy for 50 miles then replace oil filter - same oil
then give it a bit more, dont labour the engine tho make sure it revs freely etc and dump the oil and filter after another 100 miles
then use some good oil, not synthetic tho - still mineral
and give it a bit more for another 100 miles
oil and filter change, drive it like normal
thats what im gonna do anyhow
