Yesterday, I received a flyer from the local Farm and Fleet store, on the front page it advertised an MTD push mower with a Briggs and Stratton engine.
Interestingly, the ad stated, "New check & add oil feature - no oil changes needed"
Ok, this needs some explanation.
Well, guess what.... I found this web site:
http://www.briggsandstratton.com/us/en/justcheckandadd?cid=justcheckandadd_url
On that page, in big black text, it says, "NEVER change your oil again. Yes, never."
It goes on to say: "Check the oil. With the new EXi engine, simply check the oil level and if needed, add oil. For other engines, read our oil change how-to. Searching for oil? Find your oil type and order online."
I do not see where there is an explanation of the major breakthrough in technology that allows this, maybe someone else here knows of it, but, this just has to be one of the best-kept secrets ever, just wait until the automobile manufacturers find out about it.
