Wow you guys are dedicated, how long do most plan on keeping your cars? If you plan on keeping it for years I can understand but if it's a lease or you flip your cars every 3,4,5 years why go to all that effort ? The next guy benefits from this not you.

^^ The answer will depend on what kind of driving you do and also what kind of oil you use...

I change mine every 8-10k miles. I use Amsoil 10w-30 oil designed for 25k miles. Usually change tranny oil at same time. Diff. oil about 15-20k.

Some of the owners on this forum ARE the "next" guy. Sucks to be on the receiving end of one your cast offs.
