I would say about 3-4 events in the summer with daily driving. I used to send my oil out all the time on my old car and that's about what I saw as a good interval, and it probably has longer life in it.

I've always been hesitant towards doing the Blackstone analysis because its like, okay I have metal shavings in my engine. Im screwed now what do I do? I feel like it would just give me unnecessary anxiety since I can't really don anything about it

It's a Honda, this thing can run on olive oil

Finally getting tires taken off the SM-10RS so I can swap them to the new 18x11 setup. The 18x10 SM-10RS up for sale soon.

Of course one of the tires has a staple or something in it. I hope it's just the tread as it's close to the sidewall probably can't patch it.

whats the reason for swapping the wheels out? just half an inch wider? or are they 19s?

i'm going to wait till it warms up so I can ceramic them before mounting. It's just part of my process.

Plus the new tires are in hibernation in a very nice heated space. Don't want to wake them up too early. They'll be mad

no apologies needed it's everyday here lol

The SM-10RS are too nice to run on track for me. I hate worrying about them. So I jumped on the @Rexpelagi fitment 18x11 for fun. I plan on getting a nice set (for me lol) of 18x9.5 for the street with a better everyday tire vs running the Conti ECF as my daily.

? I had to wait for a nice day. It was 50 yesterday and almost 60 today. I didn't feel bad about stressing the tires it's plenty warm. Probably going to be below freezing again next week

The tire stack is growing ?

Ideally, I'll pull the trigger on a set of Advans maybe. Have always been partial to them.

i would have said use the other wheels as your daily, since they are very nice.

But I roll with Advans as my winter wheels, so I can't fault you there. I have 4 sets of wheels for this car and another set for the miata, and depending on how that goes, another set would need to be purchased, if I keep that car. thankfully no one goes in the garage but me

This is how sets of wheels increase. 1 set for street, winter. 1 set for street, non-winter. 1 set for track. Then that set for track is too nice for track. Then the track wheels are in the wrong spec. New set. Never ends.

I usually got 3 sets but for this car trying to get away with 2
