The pods enable the boom operator to refuel two planes at once. After the boom operator establishes contact with the aircraft's fuel tank, the computer takes over. Up to 1,100 gallons of fuel flow through the boom per minute and about 470 gallons per minute through the drogue.
Car manufacturers often suggest changing oil filters every other time you have your oil changed. Most parts and oil manufacturers, however, say to replace oil filters with every oil change, which should occur every 3,000 miles or three months (whichever comes first).
The common suggestion is to change the oil every 3000 miles. And numerous service stations and their mechanics gladly parrot this recommendation. After all, every time you come to change your oil, they will get paid. After every oil change, your windshield or the inside of your cars door is decorated with an oil change sticker, nicely telling you to come back in a few months or 3000 miles. Lovely.
