OHIO HERE WE COME!
By Frank Alfter
Before the Arizona heat got too strong and pre-empting any warm weather, Carol
and I set out on 13 April to drive the '73 Cutlass the 1,800 miles to Dayton, Ohio,
and our new home. We planned this just in case the air conditioning didn't hold
up on that long journey, but she proved good for all the air we needed. Just the
Sunday before, on the 9th, we attended the BOP and were joined by our son
Scott from Las Vegas and his '04 Alero. I knew this would be the last time my
Olds would be shown in Arizona and didn't really expect to win anything. I kept
getting 2nd place trophies and knew that in order to break out of that rut I
needed to do some more restoration on the old girl. She's very nice, but needed
new paint and perhaps more detail than just under the hood. I hung around the
show for Scott to receive his trophy plaque, because we were certain he would
get something. Just as I was going to join him near the awards table next to
McDonald's, I heard my name announced over the loudspeaker and couldn't do
anything but chuckle to myself. Some of the judges must have seen in my car
what I knew was there and I was awarded the 2nd Place plaque! Not bad for her
last show in Scottsdale and a fitting point of departure.

OHIO HERE WE COME!
Continued from Page 1
By Frank Alfter
Carol and I loaded up the Olds, dropped the dogs at the kennel, pre-positioned the Blazer at the airport parking lot and hit the road
around three in the afternoon on Thursday. My stout-hearted Cutlass had no trouble climbing out of the valley and indeed passed
many others who were struggling. We cruised at about 75-80, with a/c on and made it to Albuquerque around 10 pm and checked
into the Hampton Inn there on I-40. Friday morning before breakfast, I checked the Olds over, a sort of personal pre-flight that I
had been accustomed to, but with the newer cars had gotten away from doing. I checked all the fluids and the belts and generally
inspected whatever was in sight under the hood (this will become important later). This Olds, with only 170,000 miles on her does
not use or lose oil, and in fact the oil is extremely clean on the dipstick. I have always used nothing but Quaker State and change oil
and filter at 3,000 mile intervals... without fail, (I've owned her since she was on the showroom floor).
The trip across the rest of New Mexico, and into the panhandle of Texas, was as expected: Boring! Carol had checked out some
books on CD and that kept us occupied, while the a/c kept our cool. We sailed around Oklahoma City on the Kirkpatrick Tollway
about 2 pm, and this is where we departed I-40. Taking I-44 northeast towards St Louis, we stopped for the night in Joplin, MO.
Again, before breakfast I "pre-flighted" the good Olds, but almost didn't check under the hood, after all, I knew the oil was still going
to be good. Well, my inner maintainer soul told me to look anyway. The oil was indeed good, water right at the top (new radiator
from Phoenix a couple of years ago), belts checked good, but OMG!!! Along with the belts I glanced at the alternator and was
horrified! There are three bolts that hold that puppy firmly in place, a pivot bolt and two adjustment hold bolts. The rear hold bolt
was missing and the pivot bolt was backed out almost all the way!!! I cannot imagine how those lock washers failed, but they had
to. Without loosening the belt, I drove the pivot bolt back all the way in and fortunately did not bum the threads. I found Carol at
breakfast and told her. We queried the desk manager about the location of a Home Depot or car parts store that would be open at
that early hour, right after 7 am. There was an HD just down the road about a mile or so. So we gingerly drove down there to find
an auto a/c servicing shop and the good man there had a coffee can full of nuts, bolts, washers, etc. Just like you and I do in our
garages. Everything I needed was in that can and I restored the integrity of the alternator and we were off. What a great guy that
one was. Wouldn't let me pay him anything and even let me use his soap and sink to clean up.
Just east of Joplin we ran into really heavy rain, but kept plugging on. We drove through St Louis and on into Illinois by midmorning. We lunched and gassed on the east side of Illinois' I-70 and drove the rest of the way across Indiana and into Ohio before
she needed gas again and were at Wright Patterson AFB by late afternoon. We spent the first two nights on base and worked at the
house in Beavercreek, less than ten miles from my new Honeywell office. I painted two of the three garage bay floors with epoxy
paint and parked the Olds in the third bay. We spent the last two nights at the house on a blow-up mattress. We had TV and beer...
what else does one need. The trees were in bloom and the temps were in the 60s and 70s during the "heat" of the day, and down in
the 40s in the early morning. WE ARE GONNA LOVE IT! Wednesday, 19 April, we flew directly home from Columbus and are now
just waiting to sell this house so we can finish our move to Ohio. We will truly miss the good friends we have made in the AZ Olds
Club. You all were Carol's and my true social life here in the valley, something we needed after the great social life we had in the Air
Force. Thanks to all of you for being such great friends. We'll stay in touch.

Technical Tips
Fluid Flush Fallacy - Just a 'Nightline' away from scandal - By DOUGLAS FLINT (submitted by B. Lefrancois & K. Sup)
If you take your car to a shop for a routine oil change you have a high probability of being told your car needs one or
more of its critical fluids flushed, changed, or serviced. This started originally at the quick-lube shops and spread to the
whole auto repair industry, including the dealers. Part of the reason is technology. New machines have made it possible
in most cases to change the fluids quickly and easily, or so the sellers of the machines say. But the real driving force is
profitability. Today I'm changing a timing belt and water pump on a Dodge Caravan. It will take all of five hours of bay
time, a lot of parts and a lot of potential liability. In half the time I could do a series of flushes with little effort or liability
and make much more profit. Since most people, mechanics and shop owners included, respond to economic incentives,
it is coming to pass that every car going to every shop needs every fluid flushed every day. In short, what is really
being flushed is your wallet. It is straining the credibility of an industry that rightly or wrongly has always had credibility
problems.
The Four Flushes
Old-timers from the Fifties, Sixties, and Seventies always knew it was a good idea to periodically drain the radiator, put
a bottle of flush chemical and water in, run it a half-hour then wash it out again with plain water before refilling it with
the proper mix of antifreeze and distilled water. Or if you wanted to do a really nice job you could cut one of those
plastic flush tees from a Prestone flush kit into the heater hose, allowing you to hook a garden hose up and run a
4
continuous flush. Now these old-timers are being told their transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and who knows
what else must be flushed on a yearly, monthly, or even daily regimen. Strangely, their '77 Olds Cutlass managed to run
180,000 miles without all this attention. Now don't get me wrong. I am in favor of changing most fluids at 30, 60, and
90,000-mile intervals, regardless of what the owner's manual says. But that is not what's happening. These services are
being oversold to a degree that is bound to damage the reputation of our industry to the net result that consumers will
not believe any of us, even when we are telling the truth.
The Rundown
Let's start with the automatic transmission -- the most frequently flushed fluid besides the radiator. The advent of the
transmission fluid exchange machine was a great step. In the past, automatic transmission fluid could only be changed
by removing the transmission oil pan, which only holds three to six of the eight to ten quarts in the transmission. The
second you started the car, the new fluid mixed with the old, eliminating much of the benefit of the service.
The fluid exchange machine, which some people choose to call a flush machine, cuts into the transmission cooler line at
the radiator. As the car runs, old fluid goes out into the waste tank while new fluid is simultaneously pumped in. If the
shop is really thorough, the car is lifted and actually driven through all the gears while the exchange is taking place. And
if the service is done properly, the transmission oil pan still has to be removed and cleaned and the filter replaced - a
solid hour and a half of work. So if a quick-lube shop is offering it to you in 35 minutes, something's not being done.
Now, as to checking the dipstick for color or smell to determine if your fluid needs to be changed: At the extremes (not
changed for 100,000 miles or changed yesterday), you can tell. But as far as whether it was changed 3,000 miles ago or
20,000 miles ago, no one can know, and if they say they can, they are lying. Power steering fluid in general is not
listed in most maintenance schedules as needing periodic replacement, although there are some exceptions. But we
have a machine for that now too, so expect to be told you need your power steering fluid flushed. Look, if every three
to five years (45,000 to 60,000 miles) you change your power steering fluid, that's not a bad idea. And replacing it with
synthetic fluid, if allowable, is even better. But you certainly don't need to do it yearly or even every two years.
Brake fluid lives in a sealed environment because exposure to moisture will ruin it. No one ever dreamed of messing
with it until Hondas became popular, and Honda for some reason does call for brake fluid replacement. Now we have
(you guessed it), a brake fluid flush machine. If your factory manual calls for it, by all means, change your brake fluid.
Other than that, leave it alone unless you are having brake repairs done, in which case changing it may not only make
sense but be necessary if the hydraulic system has been compromised. It is not enough that you are changing your oil
every 3,000 miles. Now when you go for your oil change they want to hook up a motor flush machine to clean your oil
system out. Strange, my '63 Valiant didn't need that. Look, this goes under the category "If you need it, it won't help" -and thus sales are being encouraged on vehicles that really don't need it. If an oil system is dirty enough to have
deposits of sludge forming, you're only going to get the sludge out by removing the valve covers and oil pan and
scraping it out. Any stirring up of the stuff without removing it is likely to do more harm than good.
Stocking Stuffers
I had an oil-change guy who lasted about a month. Every time a truck or sport-utility vehicle came in (the only vehicles
left with a classic differential), he would call me over, waving his finger at me after having dipped it in the differential
oil, saying "it needs a differential service," as if he who barely knew how to open a hood would know. Evidently it was a
service heavily pushed at his last place of employ. On a military 6x6 doing heavy duty in Iraq, differential oil needs
constant attention. On a domestic SUV whose only off-road experience is driving onto the grass at the soccer field, just
follow the owner's manual or change the fluid every 60,000 miles. The exception would be if you tow things or if you
submerge the differential by backing a boat into the water. Oh, and the transfer case fluid need only be changed at the
required mileage or 60,000 miles.
Avoid the Wallet Flush
The easiest way to avoid having your wallet flushed is to try to stay with one shop that you trust, and keep good
records. Now I know that even my best customers occasionally go elsewhere for an oil change when my shop is not
convenient. So if you find yourself in a strange shop being told that the very lives of your children depend on your
getting a particular service at that moment, just walk away. Well, actually, that would be a tough one. But a new
customer is often viewed as fresh meat, since all their existing customers have been flushed into the next galaxy. The
harder the sell, the more you must resist. And believe me, the sell can be pretty rough. They can come at you with test
tubes of fluid samples, and with pH strips whose color change indicates you are seconds from disaster (all provided by
the flush machine manufacturers). Even my sister-in-law, whose toughness and command of Arabic swear words sent
Egyptian border guards scurrying for cover, succumbed once. And to the people in my industry, the owners and shop
managers, I say, "What is it going to take? Another 60 Minutes or 'Nightline' exposé where they go shop to shop and
find out how many flushes they need after chemically certifying the fluids as new? Do you know how tough business is
gonna be after that happens? Try thinking a little farther ahead than next week's bonus check."
