Still trying to figure out......
Mr. Dumas,
What does cold have to do with it? I mean in Canada, you might need an oil that is better suited to colder weather than maybe here in Utah. But, the wear is still the same, right? Until oil pressure is built up, the motor wears for just an instance.
And you would want to do your homework right? But, does that mean traveling to a state where it might be a needle in a haystack trying to just find a 3B let alone, a great 3B. You might never hear the motor run. But if it was local, you could. Canada has alot of them. You would have better luck finding a decent one there.
And lastly, people may have took over your thread. But you started it with some pretty lame statements about cold winters in Canada versus Michigan and how Canadians abuse their vehicles. Just wanted to clue you in, it happens in the states too. I used to be one of them until I learned from experience how to treat my vehicle right.
So I ask again, Mr. Dumas what does cold have to do with it?
