Found a post by rlent (wasn't he in here?) on Bob is the oil guy. He went 47000 miles on Mobil 1 with a bypass filter and oil analysis...guess I'm safe to follow the assyst...

Well mine was black at 2000 miles...:)...that could get expensive...not worried about that, I just wonder about engine longevity, my next van will be a 2014 4 cyl as soon as they sell for under $5000...so 2028 if expediting exists by then :D My egr stopped contributing to soot in the oil so I...

Oh the oil was definitely black...but I did not use a drop between changes... I saw some talk about MB going to 10,000 mile changes, that's part of why I'm asking...do they want money or do the engines actually benefit...

Just a check in here, I chickened out and changed the oil at 16,000 (mobil 1 European 0w40) but it says I have 2000 miles left, which would probably end up being 4000...timed change or trust assyst? Oil analysis, I'd rather just change it...

5 hours deadhead for 5 hour drive, hope it pays I'll find out in a month 86 F and no ac better than 111

On that subject, anyone who carries or owns a firearm should have regular and comprehensive training as part of that responsibility. So many preventable deaths due to shootings, the easiest solution to me would be for people to responsibly exercise their rights, restricting guns is not a...

Somebody should have been armed Designated shooter? :) "Legal community against violence" quickest way to stop violence is to shoot the violent IMHO

Just a question, I stay out of these forums being Canadian (a lonely Libertarian Canadian), but how far would he have got if everyone in the club was armed? Just sayin

Thought they were bringing it...always keep my eyes open for the next van, but so far the only thing I see to replace the 2005 sprinter is a 2014 4 cyl...canadians need to deadhead cheap, I'm averaging 22 mpg mostly at 70 mph...

Then lay in bed is what you need to do. I have no idea what level medical coverage you have, luckily in Ontario hospital coverage is forced thru our taxes but when you leave, without private coverage, other than doctors visits you're not covered, we've got crazy out of pocket costs...

Something for paid work that doesn't involve driving on meds is possible too if you insist on punching a clock...you just have to change how you made a living. Easier said than done, I know I've got no suggestions that way, my occasional expediting income is supporting us while I care for...

You'll find something you can do again. This is what disability was made for, no guilt, you deserve it and no one not in your situation can even imagine what you're going thru. The wife is 35 and has disintegrating joints from arthritis, as well as EDS HD, migraines, failing kidneys and liver...

Nice dog, sorry to hear that, I hope you get him back

Far more satisfying to just suddenly quit

Summer slow season, time for bankruptcy. Goodbye tax bill

Surprised by a 1 am direct. Imagine if you will, driving a few short hours to a foreign country with an open border, where you don't speak the language and can't read the signs. Mirabel, Quebec - they have horizontal stoplights too. Shippers are bilingual but English seems to fade when you...

In the beginning it will be fun to watch...whether angry truckers attack them or people try and rob them...but it's coming, Audi has one ready and Volvo supposedly is releasing one (car) for 2017...the convoys are already being tested on highways in Europe

Most times, asking gives the opportunity for someone to say no in my experience...like the officer who asked who gave me the permission to change my balljoint in a grocery store parking lot i was already almost done, so he went away and let me finish

Geez you "older" generation crack me up. My idea of retirement is a larger sleeper with forced 10 hour breaks...

Or the yellow Penske's would be in heaven (Just being negative if ALL trucks did stop we'd get a result)
