[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 4763664, member: 549629"] 3k miles is not a lie, but with today's oils that's a very loose rule at best. Non-synthetic oil, yeah id change it every 3k miles or so. But if Im running semi-synthetic or full, it can go longer safely. How long depends on alot of things. Many of you guys seem to think the biggest abuse on your engine is red lining it. Start and stop traffic can easily be just as hard on it. I generally dont recommend switching to synthetic oil on an old engine not due to it creating new problems, but because you wont likely see much if any improvement in engine life at that point. But if you do switch to synthetic or semi, be sure to drain ALL the oil from the system first. I really like napa's oil filters. Cheap and much much better quality than Fram. [/QUOTE]
