Ejection Handle Pulled
...how often do you check the oil in your vehicle (one that's not ever given you a reason to suspect it's using oil).
I got to thinking about this the other day. I check the oil in my plane EVERY TIME I fly. Even if it's just an intermediate stop on a cross country flight to fill up.
But...
I only check the oil in my vehicles twice per oil change.
1. The first fill-up after the oil change to make sure they (or I) didn't screw up when changing the oil.
2. Right before I take it in for an oil change to make sure it didn't start using oil since last oil change.
That's it.
What do you do?
