wow that's ridiculous, i'm browsing through the whole thread, and he actually didn't change it for over 60k miles.

[DALAZ_68]

how the fuck does it run for 60K on the same oil !?!?!?!?

[los_inc]

unfucking real.

[enkei2k]

what an idiot. if you don't know anything about basic car maintainence, don't get one, especially a bimmer.

hell before i even got a car, i knew i had to change oil, fluids, etc...

watch this guy say that he hasn't pumped air in his tires in 60k miles either.

[lflkajfj12123]

whered you get pics of my car???

[Flicktitty]

Same shit happened to my truck, I got it from my dad... I did a few oil changes on it, the truck ran kindda crappy, so i took teh valve covers off it looked identical to this.

[Ceepo]

Holy fuck, that looks like someone diarrheaed in that motor, that is epic fail!!!

[jibanez]

ouch :eek2:

[beanzphour]

Sent the link to my sister, hope it scares her into taking car maintenance seriously.
Story would have been better, as a cautionary tale at least, if the car would have blown up in flames.

[Brian]

Wait... you have to change oil????

[ZilviaKid]

whats oil?

dont i just put coolant in the valve cover?

[driftsilvias13]

Thats not even like a POS car. Its an e46. What a moron.

[DataXUnknown]

I think it's time for Seafoam!

[veeates36]

Haha.. Words to live by..

Or time for a new motor. Rod and main bearings have to be trash after that

[wangan_cruiser]

chocolate pudding anyone?

[0wn3r]

I recommend keeping the oil you change. That way, you only need to spend the money for 2 oil changes in the lifetime of your car. You just need to remember to rotate the oil every 5,000 miles or so to keep them fresh.

[zylvia213]

yummy brownies

[royer]

Haha.. Words to live by..

JIMMY!

I really need to send this to my sisters, they have no car knowledge whatsoever.

[240sxChillen]

This makes me want to change my oil now..

[S14DB]

how the fuck does it run for 60K on the same oil !?!?!?!?

Got to love synthetic. Now if there wasn't all that shit in gasoline...

[!Zar!]

Good thing carfax will inform people about this!

[0100]

I run 15k or so intervals with my diesel truck, but that uses 15 quarts of synthetic, has a bypass filter that gets changes every 5k, and I do blackstone oil tests to see if and when I need to do a very expensive oil change.

You would be amazed how long quality synthetic oil is good for. The big rigs go a real long time between changes.

So maybe I should go for 40-60k for my next oil change. lol

[deolio]

how funny, today i realized the "next oil change" sticker thing in my truck was 10,000 miles off and i was 3,000 miles beyond the correct time i should have gotten it changed. i feel really dumb. oil change tomorrow.

[SleepR 240sx]

Wow. That is...wow. Did i say Wow?

[Vision Garage]

Very expensive lesson to learn huh?

[s14canyoncity]

Holy fuck, that looks like someone diarrheaed in that motor, that is epic fail!!!

x2......looks like tommy's chilli

I think it's time for Seafoam!

i don't think that would even help.. poor car

[nathanong87]

looks like the SR motor that i had in my car before the swap....

my new motor doesn't run on oil anymore...it run on courage

[tricky_ab]

What the hell?! So there are actually people this stupid out there!!?!

[SR_Vlurs]

wow epic fail seriously that guy is a retard......

[90hatchie]

i knew a girl that had no idea wtf oil was
"matt can u pick me up"
"no i gotta change oil on car its over do"
"whats oil? just come get me im bored"

and her mom is buying her a bmw m5 too

[DreamN]

Some people just don't know jack shit about cars. It's quite sad.

none of that is true.

you are a pathological liar.

[Chrischeezer]

that's terrible but has anyone else seen sludge form another valve cover?, like an exact mold of the valve cover... now that's some sh*t..

[brewster240]

yeah, i bought a ca18det from japanese engines inc in patterson new jersey and that happened.

from what i can tell, they removed the oil cap and cleaned what was visible.

then they wouldnt honor the warranty and said i was trying to swap another motor from another place.

[napaKAliboog]

FML IM SCARED TO BUY A 7 SERIES NOW =0( Especially because a lot of dumb asses get bimmers because they think it's COMPLETELY MAINTENANCE FREE...

[!Zar!]

Not really. People normally have the dealership change the oil. It isn't just bmw owners.

All people have the potential to be that stupid.

[SexPanda]

Gotta admit... BMW engines are pretty fucking good lol. I dunno if a KA could do it.

and Im fucking positive an EJ couldn't do it.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

hahaha. one of my good friends got a free toyota previa that had that same super sludge crap all over its valvetrain.... i wish i could remember where we saved the pics. anywho, that's pretty rough to not maintain your BMW for 60k miles.

[JVD]

My dad had a Solara that would pour blue smoke for about 1 minute after you started it.

We took it in. The mechanic said he had never seen sludge buildup that bad EVER. I asked my dad when he last did an oil change. He just stared at me.

[S14_Kouki]

I had a SR come in my old shop I worked at and the oil was just like that. I pulled the oil pan and the oil came out like mud thick thick mud.
