What's that, about a year on a fleet vehicle? That's supposed to be convincing? |

That's supposed to be > convincing? when i posted this - i was thinking of the people that do what their granddaddy did, even though combustion technology, fuels, oils and engine metallurgy are dramatically different these days. i was hoping to enlighten, but i guess i'd forgotten just how rigidly proud some people are of their ignorance and ability to keep their head stuck firmly in that sand. next time you get sick, doubtless you're going to resort to burning camphor and bread poultices. those "doctor" people and their new-fangled "technology" and "drugs" clearly don't know what they're doing. -- nomina rutrum rutrum |

I've always thought the 3,000 mile habit is stupid and wasteful for
the average passenger car. Mine typically go 5-6,000, another benefit of changing my own is that I leave a lot less old oil in the pan than the average Jiffy Lube by letting it drain all night.

Of course, not going to Jiffy Mistakes is a good idea.

The article linked above is a good read and helps reinforce my belief about going with the manufacturer's recommendations on oil change intervals, or even longer. The owner's manual for my 2003 Civic says to change the oil every 10k miles or every year, whichever comes first, using 5W20 non-synthetic, and assuming no extreme conditions, per what is explained to be "extreme" in the owner's manual. The wikipedia entry for "motor oil" talks about how oil standards have changed, driving the increasing interval over the decades. |
