I usually change my own oil in my cars. But this time take my car in for a oil change as it was in the single digits outside. Mechanic comes out (he looked all of 20yrs old) and asked me how oil does my engine take? I checked it after it sat overnite the next day. Full quart over. Another time take it to a Jiffy Lube (never again) as I was traveling and car was still under warranty. Ask for the synthetic oil. Just happen to be sitting in waiting room where when I look up from the magazine I am reading I can see the tech putting plain old 5w30 in my car. By the time I get up and pop my head in and remind him I need 5w20 synthetic he is done. Mgr frowns and says something to the tech. Tech dumps oil and puts synthetic in. Next day I notice a drip in the driveway. Can't do anything about it as I gotta drive to 2+ hrs back and forth to work in Philly that day. MISTAKE. Next day backing into spot at work I hear this strange clunk! Cold as hell out and I gotta get inside. That nite I come out and start car, move about 10 ft and oil light comes on. Oil all over. Dark, cant see. Get ride home. Next day have the car towed by Mazda road side assistance for free. Dealer calls to tell me the oil filter fell off! They did a new oil change and test drove car. Said is seemed fine but only time would tell if I damaged any bearings. And oh, by the way we have voided your engine warranty due to the fact you drove the car with no oil. WHICH I did not do. I traded the car in at a Mazda dealer late one day on a Saturday. Tuesday when I went to pick up my new one GM was mad. "If you don't want the trade In let's just drop the whole deal!" Take it a stick it Mazda. Pete

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
