Default Perfect Example of why to change your Oil

Good gosh, the owner is a tard of epic proportions. Please for the sake of your engine, change the oil regularly and use good oil.

I would shoot myself in the head, if I let my XJ's engine get in that kind of shape!! Let alone, a high performance sports car engine!! What an idiot, seriously!!

WOW people like that shouldn't even own a vehicle of ANY kind. I was always under the impression that people who own those types of cars are fairly intelligent. Apparently not.There's a saying that I heard along time ago that kinda applies to that guy: Ban low performance (or stupid in this case) drivers, not high performance cars.

I dont see the problem there...bmw's arent supposed to need oil changes, thats why they cost so much, to outweigh the costs of maintenance

What a tard

Ha, that's funny. My last 2 BMW's got treated just like any other car I've had, but were driven much much harder. Like the ultimate driving machine lol. Never had any issues.

Thankfully I read this thread. I had no idea we were suppose to actually change the oil in these things...
