There are others I'm sure, I just can't think of...
I will tell you this, somewhat recently, I did ask a lady why she wanted an oil change - I was asking her what type of oil she wanted, asked what type of driving she did, and she responded with, oh, I've just never changed the oil in this truck... it was a 4.7L Toyota Tundra, 2002 model... Assuming she just bought it, I asked how long she had had the truck, to which I was told, "since new" Meaning, she had 5 years and 42000 miles on the original oil.... there was only about 3 quarts in the crank case, and was starting to smoke...
what an idiot...
truth is, as a shop service manager, it's very hard to trust customers, so you get as much information as possible - customers lie, they leave out important information all the time - which I don't understand, it's like they feel guilty about something and don't want us to find out, where all we are trying to do is help...
HAH!
My mother drove her last car to an early grave - literally.
It was washed, waxed, detailed regularly but not a single oil change, brake check-up, whatever. The engine (4 cyl. Ford) finally gave out at about 35k-40k miles.
Luckily not all car owners of the female persuasion are as dim about car stuff!
ok guys. so im ready to change my sensor that went out..., the only problem is that i dont know which one exactly it is that i have to change... its the bank 1 sensor 2 on the 02 is300 model...can anyone help me out and tell me if its the one under the sear or before the cat conv..
Bank 1 sensor 2 is the second one on the exhaust manifold. If you open the hood and look at the exhaust manifold you will see one sensor that easy to see(before cat is bank 1 sensor 1) and the one you're looking for is the one after the cat.
