Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor - August 22, 2026

Ron opens the show today warning us of the problems he is experiencing with the availability and rising price of engine oil and all oil based products. He brings his perspective honed in the shop to air so we can all understand why our next oil change will cost more AND why we should be concerned if it doesn't. 

Later in the hour he sits down with Jerry Reeves of Dayco products discussing serpentine & timing belts and timing chains. The how, the why and the when' of replacement.  And the importance of paying attention to all of the systems.
