A cynical survey: Engine life
Let's see who's engine here dies first, starting now.
Here's how it works:
You guys that want to participate have till the end of October 2009 to fill in this thread. At the same time in 2010 I will revive this thread and get an update of the mileage and the same every year after that. Lets see who blows up first. The "driving style" field is subjective, but just try your best as this isn't meant to be that scientific; more for humor.
If you have an 09 model with the 3rd oil injector, put an ASTERISK beside your name
Syntax: [name] --- [oil weight] --- [oil change frequency] --- [current mileage] --- [driving style] --- [seasons driven]
1) Footman --- 5W20 --- 4000km --- 51,000 --- AGGRESSIVE --- All year round

I would recommend AGAINST adding anymore fields... If one person does it, the next person comes along and starts adding his/her own fields... but the previous people don't update theirs. In the end, this will just be a pile of convoluted mess...
WHen the engine fails, THEN you can ask details like "Auto? year?"
The transmission really has no bearing on engine life... nor does the year because the Renesis has been unchanged at its core. I've accounted for the important 3rd oil injector by adding an asterisk to your name if you are an 09 model.
