Here's something even funnier then, I also pull the brake pads out and replace them every 50K... Life time warranty, so it doesn't cost anything but my time anyway...
Battery at the same time? naw , every 3 years regardless of mileage...

Guess I'm the only one that believes in routine maintenance and doing it yourself, so you know its done and done the way you want it done instead of relying on some grease monkey...
Putting 40K a year on vehicles, and a lot of that is road miles out in the middle of nowhere.. down from when I use to put 55 and 60K a year on them... they don't leave me walking...
call it experience, gained in the military, in the business world, all boils down in the long run on reliability and return on your investment...
you take care of it, it takes care of you...
you ignore it, it'll leave ya walkin at the most inconvenient time possible...
I got nothing to apologize to a clown that may not understand that...ya never hurt something by giving it maintenance before it will break down instead only after it breaks down...
I get 350 to 400 K out of many vehicles in the past 30+ years...
so some moron wants to make fun of that, knock yourselves out.. cause you really think I care what some butthead in Montana or elsewhere thinks??? There my vehicles and I keep them running reliably....

I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Frustrating, ain't it? so your moral to the story is,: Rauncho Bozo recommends beat the crap out of your vehicles, maintenance is for sissies, and when it starts leaking oil, and burning off your manifold leaving smoke all over the place, and leaking on your driveway... just remember preventive maintenance is for sissies and losers... got it Beaver Clever! anything else you recommend we all ought to know?

I can see it in the local pep boys, "Well boys, it's time for me to change my valve cover gaskets!.."

"Did I tell you guys about how I rode my bike around England when I was a kid, warning of soviet attacks?"..
I'm betting the employee turnover at the local pep boys is killing them.

but you never being around the military or served in the military wouldn't have a damned clue about such things anyway... all safe and being a little weasel in Orange County...

Yeah I can hear the guys down at Pep Boys in your neighborhood... "See that guy in that Abused Rig, with the oil burning behind it? Bet he never changes his oil or his valve covers... What a STupid Schitt.." your response:

I change bulbs in my dome light every 10K miles!! Not sure if they are good or bad, cause I never drive that truck at night. Some people just too much time to waste.

Sonofabitch, John, Rancho must have his own address in your head! Talk about TFF. ya gotta be kidding.... known guys like him my entire life... I'm sure most everyone else has also... he was the little weasel who was always the tattleTale in Jr High and High School... College always had one like him in the dorm.... Always had one in every unit in the Army... they were the type that you hoped to never go into combat with.... if you were under fire or heaven forbid got captured by the enemy, he was the type that would sell out everyone else to save his own fanny....1st Sgts use to point them out all the time... He's the type that is always the instigator, and then the agitator..... He can get away with this crap on the internet.... because elsewhere his type usually found their asses kicked and put in a dumpster or had his head shoved down the commode full of urine, and then flushed..... The guy is a friggin MORON...and a spineless little AHole.. nothing more, nothing less...

You just keep on proving he has a permanent address in your skull. You're so far in denial it is friggin hilarious.
I couldn't care less about it one way or the other, but your comebacks are like a Safari Man saga. Just can't make this schit up.
