No thank you. The longer I can go between oil services the better, as far as I'm concerned. Mine goes about 6,000, and even then I need to change the oil every 3 months. BTW, I use Castrol GTX 15w50, with no additives, and change the oil filter at every oil change. For the price they cost, it's not worth making them last two oil service intervals. -- from Dave :-) <davidnopsam-ME-NOTbootsorion.demon.co.uk> Make obvious correction to reply He who dies with the most toys... wins!
