> [@chris88z24](#): > > Oil changes every 3k are a waste on synthetic oil. For cars using conventional oil I would change that every 3k. On Dino oil (non-synthetic) you should change your filter and oil every 3k. On Synthetic (I use AMSOIL 5w-30) you should change your filter and oil every 5-6k. Dealers can afford the issues that arise from beat up oil I guess…but I would personally do it MYSELF, and at 6k. ---
