Like Benny’s story, I met an old farmer who never changed oil in his truck. He changed the filter but only added oil. He had over 200,000 miles on that old truck but I don’t think he ever ran it over 40 mph. Oil in other parts of the world is more pricey than our subsidied retail price. So we are fortunate.
I bring my used oil to a recycling center now with the understanding that it gets reused for some purpose. Years ago the old oil would heat the mechanic shop at the local garage, never thrown out. I probably won’t see the need to change how I change oil, but you younger sailors will. I would think testing oil before changing would be a common practice.
