	"...Under normal driving conditions meaning not real dusty conditions it's a waste of money and oil to change a late model engines oil under 7,500 miles and most user manuals state higher miles then back in the 40s and 50s where the 1000/3000 change got in-grained in people minds. The oil companies just loved people changing their oil so often. $$$$ Using a quality synthetic oil is really cost effective just do the math..." The oil companies that pushed the 5,000 mile oil change now are promoting their their new fangled ideas of a longer oil change that they popoed. I sent in a sample of synthetic and it came back after 13,000 kilometers still OK. If I had taken it to 15,000 kms. I would have broke even but it started in the coldest of winter and saved me a couple bucks at the gas pump. At the price we're paying now, I'm happy and that's what counts.
