its possible, weve been changing it every two weeks since hes been driving so much or trying to at least. the mechanic said something exploded out of the engine.
you're supposed to change oil that often? :o

That really sucks. Maybe try a GoFundMe or some such?

Just got to work. Finished the weekly Survey Comet thing in 15 minutes, but figured since it told me I should take an hour I'd better burn some time. Also, are these the same things y'all were getting paid $16 to do earlier this year or is this different?
Not sure, as I'm not part of this one but, if it's forecasting political events in a bespoke forecasting platform, it's similar. But, even those where varied, depending on which group you were in. If the price is significantly lower, the HIT is probably changed, even if it is based on the same platform. SurveyComet runs so many projects that it's hard to tell, unless you've done both.:)

Sorry.:(Unfortunately, planned obsolescence causes things like this in vehicles that are operating within 'Everyday Use' limits. Used to be that if you kept your fluids, belts and gaskets maintained, and didn't beat on your vehicle, it would last forever. Since being in the car business, I've noticed that around 100-120k miles is the proving stage, these days. If it makes it past there without catastrophic failure, chances are it will make it another 100k and you got a well built vehicle.

If you need any assistance finding a good price on a replacement engine, let me know. When I had a scrapyard and a dealership, I made connections with parts resellers from all over the US. So, I can probably find something in your area for a hefty discount. Let me know if I can help.:)

You did that in 15 minutes? :o

Are you not filling out your reasons/citing things?
