>> They don't change their oil often enough. No way non-synthetic oil is not >> completely useless before 10k miles, Kilometers, maybe... Depends on what kind of driving you're doing. When I was traveling a lot, 3,000 miles in a week was normal. I had the Lincoln Mark VIII and was changing the oil very three months -- which would be about 10-12,000 miles. When I was living in a city and doing all city driving in econoboxes, I changed it every oil every 4-6 months -- usually 2-3,000 miles. Stop and go driving is a lot harder on an engine than cruising at 80-90 for 6-8 hours. The Saab is getting an oil change every 3,000 miles, unless I've done a long trip in there and put 1,000 miles on it in a weekend. lauraknospamousergraphics.com http://www.madmousergraphics.com web design, print design, photography
