Questions about new Accord

That is my point if a program works, there is no need to upgrade. That
has become a common misconception put in place by Microsoft. :^)

That's their plan, which is fine because they are in business to turn a
profit.

Some people never learn.

LOL!

Sure it works, just like 2000 mile oil change intervals will work. Just
like renting a crane to lift your car off the ground so you can rotate
the tires works.

All sorts of stupid and expensive processes can produce positive end
results. That doesn't make the processes any less stupid or expensive.

You are truly dense. I said it was cost effective for my application.
I'll translate that for you as you seem to have comprehension issues,
that means quite simply that it saves me money to perform the
maintenance to my vehicles using the method that I have used for decades.

 

Let's see
You: Drive the car on to the ramps, pull the drain plug, pull the
filter, replace filter gasket, replace filter, replace drain plug
gasket, pour in oil. repeat every 3000 miles

Me: Drive the car on to the ramps, pull the drain plug, pull the
filter, replace filter gasket, replace filter, replace drain plug
gasket, pour in oil. repeat every 7000 miles.

One of us is spending less money.

 

Thus spake :

THEN YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IT WORKS.

It's "pretty clear" to you because you don't understand it and make
things up on the fly.

Um, see above. You have no knowledge or expertise (otherwise, why
would you be asking the question in the first place), yet you are able
to come to conclusions based on your own opinion and conjecture.

I'm not dense.

You aren't measuring anything; all you know is "I've done it this way
for 40 years and so far nothing's broken." That doesn't mean anything
more than "nothing's broken".

If that's all you care about, fine. OTOH, maybe you'd like to know
if/how you could TWEAK your process, FINE TUNE it--save a few dollars,
save some time on unnecessary oil changes, whatever.

At least have the actual INFORMATION in hand, so that you can make an
INFORMED decision.

But no, it seems like you and otis want NOT to have the actual
information in hand. It seems like you and otis want NOT to know
anything. You know all you need.

That sounds like a crack dealer on the corner. Keepin' it real, are
you? "I don't need to know that shit!"

filter, replace filter gasket, replace filter, replace drain plug
gasket, pour in oil. repeat every 3000 miles

And less time.

Brian doesn't want to *know* anything beyond "my process hasn't broken
my car yet".

I wonder what Brian would say to someone who changes his synthetic oil
religiously every 2000 miles. I bet Brian would have ALL SORTS of snide
remarks for THAT guy. Never mind that it's the same "my process hasn't
broken my car yet" mindset...

 

Another genius amuses me with his dendrite shortage. Explain
if you can what about "none of the other maintenance items show
up until the Oil Life reading reaches 15%" can you not comprehend?

I asked the question about this silly Honda MM 5 days ago. Since then
I have learned quite clearly how it works. How many years
will it take for you to figure it out? Ever heard "tis better to be
silent and thought a fool than speak and remove all doubt"?

to a materials person, you know, what cars are made of, dendrites are
these things:

http://math.nist.gov/mcsd/savg/vis/dendrite/index.html

life would be much more pleasant if you dropped the preoccupation with
personal issues and concentrated on car stuff.

why don't you explain your simple oil usage algorithm when a modern
vehicle can track every cold start, every warmup cycle, every minute of
idle, every minute [blah...] ?

eh? you came here demanding free expert advice, against which you
fought, you complained, you insulted, and then you flung your teddy in a
corner announcing your departure, yet here you still are and now you're
lecturing others on the benefits of silence??? buddy, you need to take
your own advice if you don't understand why you're getting a negative
reaction. coughing up your secret data on your oil analysis would help too.

You really look stupid bordering on insanity when you continue to post
ad hominem's when your logical falacy has been pointed out to you in
terms that hit you in the face.
