well these real people are REALLY retarded. what did they think kept the car running? hopes and dreams that they wouldnt **** the motor by changing oil every 40k?

My ex-gf "forgets" to change her oil. I bet she does it at most once a year. When I dated her I used to change her oil every 3K. The first time i changed it she didnt have any oil on the stick.

Some people buy a new car every two years, and threat them like disposables. Never once pop the hood, change or even check the oil. Just add gas and go. Good luck to anyone who buys them as a used car!

Theres nothing wrong with following the DIC, this WILL NOT happen if you follow the DIC and use quality oil as recommended.

Jesus christ someone sticky this to answer the burning question once and for all...it's there for a reason, but changing it sooner doesn't hurt. Leaving it well after the OLM hits 0, not so good .
