Threw a Rod- Why Maintenance works!

97 altima made it approx 5,300 miles past the scheduled oil change mileage without changing the oil before throwing a rod. Don't even ask.

^haha. Good thing I'm religious about changing my oil. Just curious, what brand and weight were you using?

10w-40 for sure, but not sure on the brand. Wasn't synthetic, i'll tell you that much.

Bummer!

Was it leaking or burning the oil?

So whats next a Swap?

Car was basically totalled to begin with, but it was still drivable so I wanted to see how far I could push the ka. I scrapped it and got a 95 240sx. Best move I've ever made.

Both cars are great for differant reasons.I still think the Altima has Pimp appeal.:pimp

altima = more comfortable to drive

240 = more fun to drive.
