I can't agree more. It drives me nuts watching these guys here changing their oil every 10k miles. It doesn't matter what the oil company says that oil can do, changing your oil every 3k to 5k will save you 5k on a new motor. For the guys not changing your oil here is some math for you. If you put 100k on the motor and change your oil every 10k, you will change the oil 10 times. Lets say a 100 bucks a pop so that is a $1000. Every 5k would be 20 times so that would be $2000. So over 6 years you would have spent an extra $1000. Now you decided to save that $1000 over 6 years so now you get to spend $5000 now, makes sense to me.
