I would say 5000 to 6000 miles tops between changes but even then when you "feel" the oil between you fingers you will feel the grit it has picked up compared to new clean oil. -- Posted using the http://www.autoforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.autoforumz.com/General-Di...ict137056.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

Very true and this is caused by combustion byproducts getting into the oil over time. -- Posted using the http://www.autoforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.autoforumz.com/General-Di...ict137056.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).
