Default Re: Mobil 1 0W 40 BREAKDOWN?

Darticus, I have read numerous posts that you have started where many different members have asked you to kindly do a search prior to asking a question. There are several reasons for this.

1. While searching, you will be amazed at what you will learn about your car.

2. This is the most important, and many people have tried to explain this to you in the past. When others do a search for something they need an answer to, it becomes cluttered with posts like yours that have been answered over and over. Imagine that you actually used the search feature like you have been asked over and over to do. When you do a search, you find that a simple question has been answered 50 times, because 50 people have asked the same question. Wouldn't you get frustrated by having so many posts to read to get to the answer you are looking for.

Just like in this case. Think about it. In 6 months from now, someone is going to see if they can find an answer to oil breakdown. When they do a search, they are going to have this post returned in their search results. The are going to waste their time reading through this post hoping to find an answer. What they are going to find is another case of where someone was too damn lazy to do a search, thus frustrating them in the pursuit of the answer.

People are not picking on you or trying to not help you. They are trying to get you to understand that you are clogging up the forum and making it harder for others to perform useful searches. I personally feel like people have been more than gracious trying to get you to understand this. I have personally bit my tongue on many occasions when you have posted because I noticed your age and thought that because of your age, you may not be computer savvy. I have taken the time on several occasions to search, find the answer, and present you with what I found. I know others have done the same.

Look at the topics of your posts:

Want To Detail Car And Ask For Help On What To Buy
Can you put a supercharger on a crossfire?
License Plate frame suggestions needed
Do you like your light up door guards?
Wind restrictor wiring
Is the XFire worth the money

Every one of these topics have been discussed ad nauseum in this forum.

If you decide to leave this forum, you would be missed as a member, and you would be cheating yourself out of a wealth of information about your car.

If you decide to stay, let me give you a piece of advice. If you have a question,, search first. Then if you are confused about what you find, asked a question based on what you found. Or, once you have searched and can not find an answer. Ask the question, and state that you searched and could not find the answer. You will find that people here will bend over backwards to help you out, but be willing to help yourself first.

Clogging up this forum with repetitive questions is not only rude, but is inconsiderate of other members.

I would ask that you take this as a learning experience, and stay with us and become a productive and valued member. Ultimately, the choice is yours.
