Oil Change for a 2001 Buick Century

Jarl 15 February 2005 21:08:37
 I just purchased a 2001 Buick Century and it states in the manual that
I do not need to change the oil until the 'Change Oil Light" comes on
which could be up to 10,000 miles. Is OK or should I change every 3000
miles? I live Dallas, Texas which not too dusty but I wanted to get
opinion on how often I should change the oil from some experts out
there.

Thank you

It won't ever go 10k miles. The most I have ever seen is about 5k
that was 90% hiway driving and the least was about 3500 that was all
city driving.

I trust the oil life monitor on mine and have had three with this
function since my '90 Olds. All three are still running with no
engine issues.

 IMO the GM oil life monitor is a pretty good system.

If you want a little more safety margin, upgrade your oil from the basic
stuff to a full synthetic or even a good synthetic blend.
