When you check an engine bay, there should be no oil splashes or stains underneath the engine. Also inspect for loose or damaged hoses. Removing the dipstick for further inspection is also crucial when it comes to a used car. If the oil in the dipstick contains water or has a strange texture, the car has a major problem.
The average new car recommends an oil change every 7500 miles. I like to change mine twice during that period. Motor oil is cheap and nothing wears an engine out faster than dirty motor oil. The simple process of combustion produces a lot of by-products, acid, carbon, and contamination from the air. And that contaminates your motor oil pretty quickly. I change it at 4000 but not the oil filter, and then again at 7500 and change the oil filter at that time. I maintain the same schedule through 7500, 15,000, 22,500, 30,000 and so on.
You hold in your hand a major innovation. As you will see, it is based on the soundest of scientific principles. But because it is so dramatically different from “conventional wisdom,” it is consistently, and understandably, greeted with skepticism.

car suspension The YZ250F’s engine characteristics weren’t number one once all the other companies figured their 250F’s out, but it was mainly lacking some down-low. It was a pretty easy fix with an aftermarket exhaust or cams, but that’s only if you wanted it easier to ride with a smoother power-band. Yamaha has always had great suspension, and the YZ250F is no different. Ready to race out of the crate as long as the spring rates fit your weight and riding style. Ergonomics have been a positive for the most part. The early models were a little chunky, so the newer you get the better.
The hardest part about autocross (aside from learning how to race) in my opinion is finding the right car. Sure, you can use a daily driver, but that is not recommended if you are going to participate in several events a year. Autocross can create wear on the tires and other components very quickly and can get expensive very fast. I would recommend to get a vehicle that you can use for autocross. This can be a “trailer car” or a car that you can still drive on the road, but use only for this hobby.
The engineers have certainly created a driver orientated technical master piece. They have taken the 3.2 litre engine from the Boxster and combined the head of the Carrera 3.6, to create a 3.4 litre power plant seen in the Cayman S. The engine produces 295 hp at 6,250 rpm with 251lb of torque which is enough to propel the car from 0-62 in 5.4 seconds.
