O.K. lemme let you guys in on something you should allready know. The only thing that goes wrong with oil is it gets DIRTY!!! Why do you think when it goes in it is see through and comes out black as night? Why do you think it uses a filter?? Because all the moving parts of your engine are metal on metal and the friction, no matter how small causes metal shavings to come off of the moving parts. These particals eventually become sludge, a thick black goo that looks like #### inside your motor. The particals become abrasive and chew away at surfaces that are important for keeping oil from leaking. My father in law owns a garage and just had a truck in last week that the guy said he used slick 50 and didnt change the oil but every 15,000 miles and we had the valve covers off and the engine looked like it had a million miles on it yet the odometer had 81,000. Also a friend of mine works at a lube/oil/filter place and changes his oil every week because it is free and his car has 110,000 on it and doesnt burn a drop of oil and when you pull the oil filler cap you can see the engine looks brand new. Don't fall for these gimmicks, don't be lazy and don't be cheap when it comes to the most important material thing you own.

Thank god for common sense!  I used to know a really nice Mormon woman (not knocking mormons) who cooked dinner for me because she couldn't afford to pay me for working on her car.  Helluva good cook.  Her car though.  She wanted me to change the oil one day, and I said sure, how many miles do you have on it?  She says: "I changed it last October."  So, about a year with a couple trips to Utah.  Now funny enough, 21000 miles is about a year of driving, give or take 10,000.

I changed the oil, but at 60,000, her car (90's buick) was eating more oil than my 76 Ford Courier (re badged Mazda 1800 p/u) with 250,000 or so, give or take a million.

EVERY 3000 MILES!
