Vendor 1 says it will cost you $50,000 and it will take 4 months, vendor 2 says it will cost you $100,000 and it will take 2 months, vendor 3 says it will cost you $60,000 and it will take 3 months. The average bid is $70,000, which what you put when estimating the cost of this task in your project budget. Vendor bid analysis can also be used to estimate the length of the task, by averaging all the durations submitted by the vendors in their bids. In the above example, the average length of the task is 3 months.
These days they both recommend every 5,000 miles and change the filter every time. And some people now say oil will last 10,000 miles, and we would protect the environment by not changing it as often. A 125cc bike engine works harder than a car. So I'd say changing it every 3000 miles might be justifiable.
How often to change oil can be dependent on the car manufacturer â some manufacturers suggest that oil be changed every 7,500 miles or more, but thatâs based on optimum operating conditions, and the manufacturers are the ones who get to sell you a new vehicle if your old one wears out prematurely.
