you need to start shopping from tischer, I just did a complete oil change, wiper blades, air filter and cabin filter for that price
but I do mine about every 10k.

Usually I will use synthetic and go 10,000. 5,000 on regular oil, although I’ve just gone about 10,000 on semi-syn. after a brain lapse. My driving is mostly easy highway though so I’m not too worried.

Synthetic 3500-4000 miles on the GTO, less if I’ve hit a track day.
Conventional every 3500-4000 miles on the Expedition, less if I take a real long road trip towing the boat.
I drive my cars hard and I know it. Personally I think these longer and longer intervals are allowing politics to influence what engineers think is best for your engine.

Whenever the DIC tells me I’m at about 10% oil life , which equals between 3.5 - 4k miles.

Depends on the car guys…
Read your owners manual…
My saturn has an OLM on it, but I change it every 5k.
My blackstone results have been great at 5k, but I want to change it at 5k anyways.
Anything less than 3-4k is wasting your time and money.

4000-5000 on the daily.
200-500 on the trackers.

6k-7k on the Subaru, and it runs like a top.

Since I have no garage I change it when I get the chance. Last time 2400 miles, the time before that ~3350 and so far thats all the mileage I’ve put on the car since I got it.
Typically 3000-3500.

I love the people that are “sure” long intervals are bad, yet don’t ever do the testing to support it :mamoru:
Blackstone is so cheap, its worth the money it will save you in extended intervals.

Every two track weekends on the engine & trans and diff (trans and diff are one casing). Or every 3000 miles of street driving. The daily’s go more than that at times, which has bitten me in the ass.

3-3.5 on the daily.
The race hatch gets new oil when the engine blows.
