Stupid me wasn't thinking. Hey guys got a quick question. I don't know what the hell I was thinking but yesterday I put my GTO I just bought last week out to my father and laws to put it away. Well I always change the oil before storage and once I get it out. As soon as I got there I bumped it up, drained it, filled the delco oil filter and then filled the engine up. I put in 6 quarts of synthetic 5w30. Well right after mean while the motor was still really warm as I changed it by the way. I started it up for about 10 to 20 seconds then blipped the throttle to about 2500 like 2 or 3 times then to like close to 5 ish. I was excited. Then I left it run to take my father in law for a little 15 minute joy ride. No weird noises or lights. Do you think I hurt anything revving it like that like an idiot. I get paranoid. Sorry for the long post. |
Why would there be an issue? Also changing the oil before and after storage seems a little much unless your talking about storing for like 10 years or something. |
You drove it for 15 minutes after revving it without any issue? It's fine. |
Yea it drove perfectly fine. I just get overly paranoid lol. I'm stupid overthinking stuff. I'm like why did I rev it up like a idiot like that. It sounds awesome. I'm very particular with things. Lol. I'm sorry for such a dumb post I just thought I hope I didnt hurt anything premature wise acting like an idiot doing that. And yea I've been told I'm overkill with changing the oil like that, hense me being particular and how I care for my car. I figure it setting for like 5 months in the cold and moisture/ condensation. |
You probably hurt the neighbors' feelers. |
It will be fine . |
bruhhhhhhhhhhhh |
Paranoia will destroy ya.... |
Just because people are paranoid does NOT mean they are NOT out to get you . . . . LOL. Rick |
