I suppose a big question too that goes along with the original - How long do you keep your cars?

I've got no qualms with my maintenance plan as it's been working for me. 236,xxx on the clock, I've had the car for 28 oil changes. No intentions of getting rid of it anytime soon.

I got this car when my father in law had to stop driving, almost three years ago. At the time, as a 10 year old car, it had 23,000 miles on it, and was pristine. I've since put 90,000 miles on it in the three years I've had it. Engine still purrs, and thanks to what I've learned from AutoGeek, it is still pristine. ES350 models don't change styling much year to year, and no one believes me when I tell them for the first time it is a 14 year old car.

Is this an ES350? I dunno, but I detailed it a couple of weeks ago..

Sometimes I feel like I’ve got a little guardian angel watching over me... Just last week I found him inside my washing machine, and I think he might’ve been the reason why my microfiber towels were able to survive hot water wash & high heat dry w/fabric softener... He’s Sweet!

lol.

I’m no expert, but the oil people seem to say that Amsoil is the best synthetic oil available? Therefore if I were to buy a brand new Cadillac I’d use that.. As far as filters, I’ve heard good things about Wix, so that’s what I use.
