Uncle Choad 04/12/18 5:33:02 PM #7:	About every 4,000. I like to have my mechanic look at my car and rotate the tires (which is free, by the way, because it's already on the lift). Also, synthetic oil is only a couple bucks more than conventional, but they charge people twice as much because people think it costs twice as much. $31 for a synthetic oil change for my whip. --- Oden ska fa sin hamnd.

That is a massive, unnecessary waste of money. Oil usually doesn't need to be changed until around 15k miles. Depends on the oil. Synthetic oil can probably go for about that long but conventional oil needs to be changed every 3000.

That is a massive, unnecessary waste of money. Oil usually doesn't need to be changed until around 15k miles. You can do an oil change for $25, so it's not a "massive" waste of money, and even if the benefit from more frequent oil changes is small, it's still worth it given that an ENGINE change will run you ~$7,500. --- It's the fat upper kitty area, and if you got one I wanna marry ya! <cite>Fuparulez posted [p:899545905] in How often ...
