I don't know where you get your information but I know plenty of people who
take their vehicles in for 3000 mile oil changes and whatever it says in the
owner's manual or what their favorite mechanic can sell them on. I would
agree with "most" but "99%" seems like an exaggeration. There are systems
and parts that are designed to last the normal life of the vehicle too. The
radiator is one of them. Living near the ocean, overheating the engine, not
replacing hoses and putting strange mixtures of coolants can shorten this
considerably.

Re: Re: Re: Followup-- 2000 JGC V-8 still overheating
hmmm
I always wondered what the factory means when they claim something is
"LIFETIME" lol
The vehicles I repair come from the factory saying that the fluids in the
transaxles (both auto and manual), cooling system are all lifetime fluids.
AFAIK They can even get away with oil changes every 2 years or 15,000 kms,
but not in the USA.
I would say only a few people change their brake fluid every 2 years though,
and I don't know any of them
Some people don't even read their owner's manuals to know what they need to
do! 8^)
They have to trust their repair shops which usually repair problems and
usually aren't focusing on maintenance. ;-(
You are right........most people don't "maintain" their vehicles on time not
even me! ;-)

I always wondered what the factory means when they claim something is
"LIFETIME" lol
The vehicles I repair come from the factory saying that the fluids in the
transaxles (both auto and manual), cooling system are all lifetime fluids.
