Idiotic. We had a neighbor that goes around in little Toyota long time
ago. For one thing, they never changed oil -- nor added any. The Toyota
(bought as used car) worked for every 4 years until one day...

When the mechanic diagnost to what caused the engine to seize, they found
that there's no oil in the engine.

And they have three others (another Toyota, and two 'Mericans) and they
treated them the same way. They moved out of state 'bout 10 years ago. The
last thing we heard, the Caddi died somewhere on the highway and the Olds
(for some reason) is still running. And they still boast they don't add
stinking engine oil to waste money.

You CAN run engine that HAD oil in it for long time -- just watch all
those engine treatment informercials! (; But, like, do you really want to?
