I saved the company a fortune in costs this fiscal year, and I've written the company's underwriting guidelines which has turned a startup profit in 10 months. I'm pretty sure they're okay with my reportsOriginally posted by Ruffdaddy View Post
I wouldn't be making a report if I wasn't remaining unbiased, I would just tell them to do it.

I am not doubting anyone because I haven't done my research but the Honda I had said I could go 6,000 or so miles before changing the oil. I never did it though. I always changed it much earlier...Originally posted by Cmarsh93zComment

My 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 with the Hemi stated 7500 miles oil change intervals in the manual. I always changed it at 3000-5000 miles anyway but was shocked at how clean the oil always was.Originally posted by racrguy View PostComment

Full on defense mode would be you having the information on hand to back up any claim you've made. Yet all you've done is come in, spew a bunch of unsubstantiated garbage, then get mad when someone asks you to provide evidence that supports your claim. Not too bright, are you?Originally posted by Ruffdaddy View PostComment

Google recent intervals...I know what I'm talking about...you don't. Look it up...or are you that afraid of being wrong?Originally posted by racrguy View PostComment

Cars are smarter, cleaner, and better designed. I'm sure there is more to it than that, but with smart systems like IOLM, your oil change is based on real time data...not statistics.Originally posted by 347Mike View PostComment

Gas Vs. Diesel: Study Examines Total Cost Of Ownership
A new Carnegie Mellon University study reveals that cars with diesel engines are a better value than gas cars.
Despite the sticker shock at purchase, these vehicles have lower operating costs and higher resale value over time.
The study was conducted by researchers at CMU's Tepper School of Business and underwritten by Bosch.
Not only were diesel cars more fuel efficient but their residual value was up to 30 percent higher than traditional gasoline vehicles.
"It's been generally known that diesel vehicles typically post lower operating costs because of their increased fuel economy," said Professor Lester Lave.
He continued, "But that's only one element of the equation. Our study considered a vehicle's initial price and resale value along with other operating and maintenance costs."
Lave is the University Professor and Higgins Professor of Economics at Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business.
The study also found that the difference in vehicle price could be recouped in less than 18 months.
Clean diesels also deliver on average of 30 percent better fuel economy than their gasoline counterparts.
All of this translates into savings for the consumer, says Lave.
The researchers used auction data on passenger cars and light-duty trucks from Manheim Auctions and Cox Enterprises Inc.
The team compared actual resale values with the total cost of owning and operating diesel- and gasoline-fueled vehicles.
Bosch manufactures clean diesel fuel injection systems. Lave says the company was looking for real-world independent research conducted in this area.
"Past studies only highlighted projected costs from resale values," said Lars Ullrich, director of marketing for Bosch Diesel Systems North America.
He added, "This research provides a more robust set of data to support the conclusion that clean diesel vehicles provide a comparatively lower cost of ownership."
It also gives consumers more insight when buying a new car.Comment

This website will give you the intervals and average cost of each maintence item.
You could pick a diesel and gas equivalent and take some time to add it up.
BTW 2011 Dodge ram 1500 Hemi oil change interval is 8,000 miles according to the above site.Comment
