Dear GLEN,
Based on our records, your 1986 Chevrolet El Camino is due for its 339,000 mile manufacturer recommended service. Click here to schedule your appointment online 24 hours a day or call in the next 30 days to receive the following promotion:

They want to change my oil. It would be interesting to see just how many manufacturers have a recommendation for a 339,000 mile service.

The computer is figuring I drive a bit more than I do. I am only up to 337,500 miles. I will do my scheduled 338,000 mile oil and filter & lube in a couple of weeks.
Changed the oil in the Durango over the weekend. We aren't catching up much since my wife doesn't go very far during the week, but during the 184k mile oil change I forgot to put the 710 cap back on. Good thing they are cheap. I guess I am getting old and forgetful.

At least the weather has been nice the last few days. Hope it holds for Oshkosh.
