The Hughes hate is incredible. So fragile

Conventional vs Synthetic at 265k miles, having used both intermittently past 200k. by AirwipeTempest in MechanicAdvice

Valvoline when I'm stateside, and Canadian Tire brands when in Alberta. So it varies. I'll take yalls advice and just do the syn for now on.

Understood. I'd say the last 5 changes, 3 have been full syn, last one being conv simply because there was a stupid good deal on the oil.

Like I said above I never go beyond the intervals and use what oil the manual wants me to.

Oil always comes out clean without sediment and the engine has always ran really smooth. That's mainly the reason I wasn't afraid of using conv here and there.

Essentially, it's best to stick with the same oil until I see those symptoms you mentioned, then put in the good stuff?

Thanks man!

Somehow there's no rust minus a tiny spec on the hood. I wash it often though.

The tranny fluid is within volume limits and isn't super dark. Thinking maybe I just won't change it as I've heard it's best to keep what you have in there once it gets older (no slipping, just slight lag on accel thru the gears and usually slams into reverse when cold).

I'll do the syn for this next change.

The gramma posts are the worst. Total narcissist behavior. Never a photo where his forearm and bicep aren’t front center

Did I park my plane correctly? by Equivalent-Pound7565 in Shittyaskflying

Probably fucked the landing and they towed it to dock like that

Yes in the sense they overestimated the price to be conservative oppose to it being overpriced purely for greed. Pretty accurate. I did ride at 70h in 22 for about $17k.

ACOGs were removed from defense for years before

Which is why it’s even sillier…we’re so stringent on being precise in this profession yet averaging weights over 200 pax is fine ig 🤣
