Worst brake rotor you'll ever see

I took at look at the brakes on a friend's '94 Plymouth Acclaim; the caliper was jammed, who knows for how long. Eventually the caliper started to leak and lost all braking pressure, so they brought it to me. I've never seen a brake rotor this bad!

and that's why you do routine inspections!!! I was letting a friend use my '86 truck and when she was over today I learned she hadn't even considered checking the oil. for over 8000 miles.

AHHHH!!! 8,000 miles!!???!?!?

[Takura4]

Oh noes. 8000 miles. Big deal...

[LynolsOffice]

Well, big deal if it's conventional oil. But I've seen synthetics go 30,000 and still look OK. My friend once went 11,000 miles between oil changes with conventional oil, when I changed the oil for him, it smelled like dead fish and had a lumpy consistency like mud. It was so gross...

@LynolsOffice Still 30,000 miles on synthetic oil is not a good habit to maintain; if you have an all-aluminum engine chances are you'd have to replace the entire engine. My recommendation for synthetic is 6000 miles, 7000 at the most.

The synthetic I mention was some stuff by Amsoil, supposed to be able to go 30k between changes, although you have to change the filter at like 7k intervals. I thought it was BS, but I was surprised when I saw the oil come out at 30k. (I still aint doing that to my car though!)

i would have taken the rotor in to an autoparts store and asked if they could turn it for me LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

I seen worse.I did a rear brake job on Chevy S10 Blazer,the left rear caliper piston was acting like a brake pad eating the rotot right up.Ended up replacing the left rear caliper,rotor and brake pads.

That car could probably stop on the dime.

I'm not susprised just look at confdition of the remainder of the car.

[OldUncleMe]

I dunno, looks like it may still be good for a few thousand more miles, ahhaha.
