  1. Speaking as someone who use to work for corrections, those who can't or won't pay, get a pretty sweet deal, one guy I recall had 40k of fines turned into 150 hrs of community service. Pretty sweet hourly rate if you ask me

    That's just ridiculous ain't it....

    Wonder if the bank could convert my mortgage into a few hundred hours of community work??

  2. Great ... a beneficiary driving a $1000 car gets a $5 income adjusted fine for being 5klm hr over the limit

    Wealthy business man driving a $400,000 car gets a $5 income adjusted fine for being 5 klm hr over the speed limit because all his assets are in trust, business earning are zeroed out to avoid all tax and the loss attributing company that owns the car will see his $5 fine re-credited back to him.

    The rest of us are screwed (as usual) and will pay a $100 fine. QED...

  3. Yes correct, the oil change indicator for heavy diesel motors I put in my earlier post is that the oil changes directly correspond to total fuel load over a given period.

    So say change oil every 2500 liters of fuel used.

    I'm guessing that's what the old oil service lights worked off on the E30,E36etc.


  4. You can have your oil tested, it would be interesting to see after 25k. You take a small sample they analyse it for wear, carbon, water, fuel contamination etc etc

    Thats how they know to change oil on big engines esp diesels, like trucks, heavy marine or large power system generators.

    Mate works in that industry, recons that oil even tho it may look like dirty brown pooh still may be perfectly functional and have all the wear protection you need for a particular application.

    Test probably costs more than an oil change tho he he.
