Everyone is entitled to their opinion is the way I look at it lol it’s the way I was taught by someone I respected a lot and I’ve done it for almost 40 years had vehicles that I used for work that got a lot of hard stop and go miles and never had a engine failure so it’s just what I do makes me sleep better at night 😂
