I'm glad that works for you, but I've never heard of anyone having a
problem because they changed their oil too often.

I had a 77 Ford wagon , which I did the same only the engine packed it in at
80,000 miles
ed/ontario

Of course you have to bleed the old air out of the tires and put new air
in. Tires are porous and that is why air leaks out over time. In the
process moisture is able to get into the air in the tire and now you have a
mass of water in your tire. This mass throws off your balancing and give
you tire wobble and shimmy. That is why it is important to change the air
in your tires regularly.

I am sure someone will believe that.

If you want to spend some time learning about oil, check out the discussion
forums at Bob Is the Oil Guy:

http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi

More hard data is available there than anywhere else in the public domain
IMO.

Yep. Only your purse/wallet suffers. The thing is that: sometimes you
just never know, and we all better be safe than sorry.

The new Brita water filtration pitcher nows uses a timer instead of a
"mileage" gauge for the filter, so that you will be reminded to change
the filter every two months.

Does the filtration materials (active carbon and ion exchange resins)
break down or are less effective after two months? I don't know. Does
this guarantee the manufacturer a stable revenue? You bet, if you are
squeamish. Is it more convenient? Yes...

Gentlemen, don't forget to bleed the stale air out of your tires and
recharge with fresh air every two years, too. Endorsed or discredited
at cartalk.com, I forgot.
