No. I change my oil when it needs it, which is every 5000 mi or so. Jeff |

You are a piece of work, aren't you? You keep making stupid responses even when you are wrong. Are related to Mike Hunt, by any chance? Jeff |

Yet, none of this shows that changing oil too often makes a difference. Clearly, changing it often enough does, but more often than that is a waste of money and resources. Jeff |

Reminds me of the guy in NYC that dropped his car off every morning for an oil change, and picked it up in the evening. The oil change was less expensive than paying for parking in the city. I told my brother-in-law, who owned a repair shop near the Manhattan Bridge, this story, and he told me that he stopped letting people leave their vehicles at the shop for quick stuff like oil changes, it's all "while you wait." |

No, jackass, it's because I had morons like you that weren't paying attention and pulled directly into my path leaving me no place to go. No turn signal, no nothing. Oh, wait. One guy did use a turn signal... indicating he was turning the OTHER direction. And another one that decided he had to pass, in a no passing zone, when I had my turn signal on indicating I was turning right into his path. And it was night. And he didn't have his headlights on. And the bastard had the balls to try to sue *ME*. There's a reason we have buses. |

So, why is 5,000 better than 7,500? Or better than 3,000? Let's see what jim moonbeam has to say about this. |

You must be an idiot for changing your oil so often. Shut up while you're ahead, dipshit. |
