The miles are piling up already... miscellaneous questions.
Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2005 1:30 am
A couple weeks ago I started back to school. That's a 50 mile round-trip 5 days a week. When I bought my car on May 11th, it had 79 miles, and now, exactly 4 months later it has 6981. I'm beginning to get the feeling that I'll run my warranty out based on mileage rather than age. I changed the oil at 1700 and 4500 with Castrol GTX 5w-20. Do y'all think it's safe to make the switch to Mobil1?
There were a couple other things I wanted to ask, but they're escaping me now... I hate making a n00bish post just to ask about oil, but maybe I'll reply again if I think of the other questions I had. Oh... I just rotated the tires the other day and I used an old Daytona wheel I had as a "spare" while I was rotating the tires and I think I've found my choice for winter wheels. What do you think?

Maybe scrounge up 3 more of 'em, sand them down, paint the faces black and polish the lip... I think it'd look good. Like so:
