Default Re: Did my own oil change + tire roations today without ramps

hello bob,

i drove 6k mi on this oil and i knew it was time to change. i also knew that i should have done it sooner. i wasnt too concerned, however, because the old oil was synthetic Mobil 5W30. After changing the oil I noticed a signifcant gain in smoothness and acceleration. I think from now on i'll change the oil sooner every 3000 - 5000mi as what my peers recommending to me.

Now i'm thinking of changing the front brake pads to ceramic, I dont have any experience with this type of compound but i have read that they make the rotors last longer and produce little or no brake dust. Any comments on this would be appreciated.
thanks very much.


regards,

gj
