Good advice. Oil SHOULD be changed every 3000 miles.

True from the perspective of a Jiffy Lube franchisee, but not necessary for
the vast majority of vehicles using modern oil and built in the last 3
decades or so.



suit yourself. you're probably right, given most you yuppies won't keep
the vehicle long enough to matter. Might just as well not change it at
all if you're only gonna keep it 50,000 miles or 2 years. Why bother.?
