@BryceGrover Here in europe any garage you go to for an oil change says that organic oil need to be changed after 5000km, semi-synthetic after 10000km and fully synthetic oil after 15000km.

I dont understand why it is stupid to change your oil every 3000 miles. I change mine every 3000 miles. obviously the people that are saying this are the stupid ones and dont give a shit about there car. Changing your oil is the best thing you can do to keep your car running forever.

I change my oil every 5,000 miles on my truck not 3,000 miles.

In the UK oil is never changed at less than 10,000 miles interval, on my Jeep it's 12,500, it's never been a problem here, or in Europe where the intervals are similar.

@Magienus It's not about being poor or rich, it's about not doing something unneeded.

Are you too poor to afford an oil analysis once in your life ?

[Magienus]

@Nox665 if youre too poor to get a oil change every 6months then you need to start riding the bus.
