A few weeks ago we had a debate going on the list about the question whether using an hour meter on automobiles is a better way to do preventative maintenence rather then the conventional way, based on miles driven or months. I asked automotive expert Tom Torbjornsen this very question and in the audio segment below he gives us his answer, plus he gives us a little extra information on oil changes in the first audio clip below.
Tom also goes into oil life monitors and I have included some of what he had to say about that along with an interesting story he tells in the second audio clip.
Tom is an ASE certified technician, and been in the business for over 35 years!
