So im a jack as s and ran my car 200 miles past without switchin the oil wat kind of long term damage am i looking for.

 

past what? the 3,000 recommended miles? nothing if thats the case

 

lol seriously? dude, ur fine... even if he went 5200 btwn changes... ur fine dude.... im a lil late on doin mine right now too...

 

Ummmm, WOW!!

 

Dewd your screwed.

 

LMAO, that's what i was thinking too. Poor guy... his mechanic has him brainwashed. I can see it now.

"200 miles over? Wow. that's not good. I can't make you any promises, but if we rebuild the engine now we just MAY be able to save it."

 

lol sam i hope that wouldnt be the case, but im sure it has happened, i would so laugh my *** off lol

i changed the oil in a van that went 9k miles on the same regular oil and that junk was black, it still ran, prob not as good as it should but it moved lol. i changed oil in an explorer that went 32K, yes 32k on the same oil, talk about dark as night and pretty damn thick/quagulated, of course had a tick in the engine, it was on its last straw lol

 

Changing the oil 200 miles past 3000 recommendation = FINE
Running the car 200 miles with no oil = NOT FINE
Who ever told this would ruin the car = IDIOT


Don't worry man, you are fine, it will survive!!

 

His car's a 1979 I think he may have ment 200K over....
