myi, luv how you're incorporating ai into your responses!
My grammer can definitely use some help at times, especially with punctuation and alike.
 But, that reply was written without any AI help.
 Just curios what about my reply makes you think AI was involved?
 I just wrote a detailed explanation as to why someone would want to have their engine oil changed at the proper intervals.
 My personal opinion about ai, I think it's a bit cheesy and takes away from the personal touch when you have a bot writing for you. You can usually spot a post with AI pretty fast!

Sorry, I stand corrected.
Guess was just a unusually clear explanation for a technical issue.

When is the proper oil change? New full synthetic oils are guaranteed for 150k+ miles?
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Hmm, I've seen mobile 1 showing 20k.. but 150k?

He even went through a full explanation about M1 amd 20k.

Most people don't drive 20,000 miles anyway in a year. For older vehicles high mileage seems to be worth buying. Especially at the same price.

And if they do, it's most probably highway miles which is what they cover! Unless you're an Uber driver or some sort!
