Who's engine does it belong to ? It appears the oil has never been changed since day 1.

90 weight axle grease, bacon drippings, coconut oil? Lol.

2010 explorer I went to check because of 'PCM issues'.

This car must be owned by the same type of person who will go on to claim that Fords are garbage because they are unreliable.

 

[05gtowner]

Probably the same woman who owned my car. Mine wasn't that bad (looked like old chocolate milk) but still how hard is it to change oil?

 

[lito]

Is not hard but here we enter into an another issue, the places that you trust to do your oil, I have a couple of stories of people that religiously "changed" their oil on time on the same place like forever and end with this, later was found that the employee never changed anything, at the moment a typical 3V oil change with motorcraft 5-20 or 30 will run between 2 or 3 minimum wages so yes, people don't care to get into trouble for some oil.

as in 2 or 3 days of labor? Man.

I make a lot of money I guess. Sort of.

That's a mess, my car has almost 160k on it and it's clean as a whistle inside.

As in 2-3 months of labor. Sad.

I've seen engines like that that had regular maintenance, often there is a history of overheating (cooling system issues) that accelerates the oil breaking down.

 

[05gtowner]

All I know is if my trusted shop wasn't changing the oil and I ended up with that under the covers I would be pulling some liveleak Brazilian off duty cop bullshit on the mechanics.

particularly sad that oil costs so much in a country rich in crude.

 

[JUSTA3V]

Yet a tank of gas costs 1 cent

Well, I know of a couple of friends that are not friends anymore. It wasn't his fault but was his responsibility.

Is not the local oil, local oil is cheap, motorcraft is imported so it is very expensive, is you wanted 5-20W is the only way. And the problem is not the oil being expensive, is the wages being ridiculous.

At black market exchange, local monthly minimum wage (which is what a huge part of the population earns BTW) is under 20USD.

Yes, just 0.01USD for a full tank of a 91octane.

Yes but the case I've seen was like more "dry", I have a customer that has a shop that has even worse pics of this, lol.

I realize that the refine product is not the same as the local stuff.

I didn't realize how low the wages were.

The official exchange rate versus the real exchange rate is causing crazy import/export shenanigans. It is why there are toilet paper shortages.

Good Lito, I hope things get better.

Thank you, anything they fix its pricing disappear, today they regulated the price of the eggs so no more eggs.
