    appear (not often).

    I looked it up and Ford wants the oil changed every 5 thousand klms. That's fine I only drive about that or less a year anyway. When you
    don't have to drive to Toronto every day you don't rack up the klms.

    Which is a hold-over from the (not so) "good old days" before oil filters
    and modern oils. All conventional oils have an additive pack that is good
    for 5000 miles (8000 KM). The filter traps physical particles and the
    additives neutralise chemical/combustion contaminants for that long. The synthetics are good for 10,000 miles/16,000 klicks.

    My Beemer, which uses full-synthetic oil, specs an oil change/service at
    10,000 miles.

    I have a Sunday gig taking old folks from the senior living

    That's a nice perk for sure!

    Takes me the rest of Sunday to get the aromas of Maybelline face powder and Apple Spice perfume out of my nostrils, though.

    I used to go a year before an oil change with some of my vehicles because I used Mobil 1 oil and filter. It was a bit spendy but it was cheaper than constant oil changes though at the time, I'd be lucky to go 10K miles a

    Check out the synthetic blend "high mileage" oils that nearly all makers
    have available. There is an additive package in them that helps to coat/
    fill pits on cylinder walls, etc. It also is said to free up the oil
    rings on the pistons. And, it is claimed, reduce oil consumption.

    1 1/2" olive oil; for pan
    2 cl Minced garlic
    1 lg Chopped onion
    12 sl Italian bacon; thick
    4 lg Eggs
    2 Packages spaghetti
    2 c Grated Parmesan cheese

    In a frying pan, combine 1/2 inch of olive oil, 2 cloves of
    minced garlic, one chopped onion and the Italian bacon cut
    into small squares. Let simmer for about a half-hour, being
    careful not to let the oil get to a boiling point.

    In a bowl, beat 4 eggs with lots of salt and fresh ground
    pepper.

    Bring a pan of salted water to a boil. Cook both packages of
    spaghetti until al dente, drain and immediately add egg
    mixture to pasta. The eggs are actually cooked by the pasta.
    (Make sure the eggs are thoroughly cooked before
    proceeding.) Stir the egg mixture until it is well mixed.

    Pour in the mixture from the frying pan and stir. Finish
    with the Parmesan cheese and serve!
