The implication seems to be those boys in Edmonton don't try that plug  
between November and April.  My experience has
been 6 months is  too long to rip through road patch, salt and mud in  
-10 to +40 temp swings without changing the oil. YMMV
Who was that touting those Canadian s-cars as such great deals ?

Tom '95 S6  Just south of Jellico mountain, Tennessee.   OBW, for those  
snowbirds travelling south on I-75, there's about
30 miles of it missing.
