Fellow Triumphisti, There seems to be some skepticism about my synth oil sound posting. Have none of you ever noticed the difference in mechanical sounds of an engine immediately after you have chang

The only way to tell if it is placebo or not is to have someone else change your oil (or not) and see if you can tell if it really was done. Tell you what, for $15 I'll maybe change your oil and you

I change the oil in my 2005 Scion xB religiously every 15,000 miles. I run Mobil 1 with a K&N oil filter, and at 90,000 miles have seen no degradation of any kind. The oil is light brown when I chang
