Default Bottom Paint Half Price (Serious Question)

Bottom paint is not there for looks. Maybe you could save money by
straining your old oil through a tee shirt and putting it back in the
engine.

A tee shirt won't get it, but there was one fleet operator who changed
the oil daily. The oil was washed with water, centrifuged, then
filtered, and then reused. Mostly removed the sulfuric acid.
