And getting off lightly because the Drive belt went first.

yeah but the engine needs oil or it can't move

I replaced that periodically myself fam. The bigger issue would've been it crystallizing (already happened before, so this time could've ended up making the engine completely unusable) or another issue developing and growing, where an inspection during any one of the four required services would've picked it up.

>km

>slightly less convenient unit of measurement that is miles

oh

You're gonna have to tear the block apart and replace the piston rings you fried

well, considering I don't run it obscenely rich, and I also don't refuse to go under 7,000 RPM at any one time, they're pretty much fine mang

OP not servicing his sexy beast.

What are you?

A broke ass nigga driving his Mum's Camry.

Oh. So the vehicle isn't even yours then. Proceed to ride it until it can't go no more.

The acquire your own sexy beast and take loving care of it.

But it's my Mum's so when I get my own, the natural thing to do is slap a new set of tires on that baby and pay for a service :^)

Make no mistake, my first Car will be well looked after. Never mind that each service is probably going to be more expensive than the Car itself!

Fuck I just had to replace my car's PCM. Gets better gas mileage now I'd say.

The joys of Electronically controlled Engines.

When I was on a trial Apprenticeship, I was surprised at the troubleshooting procedure. They plugged this PDA thing (made by the Car Manufacturer, in this case, Honda) into the car, and it displayed certain error codes. Half of them just meant you had to wipe the code and move on, as nothing was actually wrong. I was expecting it to be an "open the bonnet, grab a spanner, and go wild" type deal.

Computers suck.
And they're called wrenches, you fucking bong.

Yeah, I'd never do that

No benefits whatsoever, and a handful of problems

Other than the occasional oil change and tire rotation, my brother stripped the transmission in my Camry. Luckily, I have a long lasting warranty.

It's so much cheaper if you're getting a mate to do it for free, ayy.

My uncle is a mechanic, so I obtain hella low prices when it comes to the usual servicing. Aside from that, I had to pay $100 for the transmission replacement.

Adventure?
