this thread is awesomeness

Ok, seriously Richie. I'm not trying to be a d!ck or anything, but you gotta get some new tires man. Even if you only go to a tire shop and get some used ones for the time being. You need to be running the appropriate sized tires on your Z.

p.s. can't trust your gas mileage if the tires on your Z aren't all the right size.

please stay on topic this is about an oil change. and yes i need tires for my 18's but im not gonna neglect my oil while i have working tires

Are you really telling me to stay on topic?!?

I was offering up some "background/perspective" to newer member that sees what's going on a bunch of hating. Mind you, I'm no fan of "hate", but I don't want the new member to think this is how the standard response to most threads.

royal purple is doing me good already. i have already noticed better gas millage.

Clearly in the 2 days you've had new oil you're getting 15 more mpgs...

Go buy tires.

with the failed tires??

baldtires weight less and offer less rolling resistance yielding better fuel economy, if he gets new tires his fuel economy wil go back down

we dump our old oil into empty containers and when we have alot we go to the landfill and properly dispose of it.

disposing your used oil in landfills is not the best way

...oh wait, you are going to tell me you meant recycling center right?

Nico does not flame.........this kid is the exception!

Well, its hard to buy Z tires when you're on a Schwinn budget. I'm sure he'll be bragging about even more power gains with a deluxe genuine K&N filter and one of these.....

lol ...I was actually waiting for these

I have Motul in my transmission... An owner at one of the shops insisted and he gave me a good deal on it. The shifting seems a little notchy but once the car warms up its not a problem. Do you have the same problem?

Yes, it seems to click and clack more when oil is cold.

well you see i go to the landfill to dispose of the oil because they have a little are there where u dump old motor oils and all different kinds of oil. so thats my reason for going there.

Don't you guys have a pepboys or autozone around there?

[R350Zz33]

[xjmxstac]

Yes they do, no need to go to the landfill.
