I love how people will throw “whatever’s cheap” into their daily drivers that get exposed to more miles, harsher conditions, and are generally required to be reliable…

while putting $50 oil into the car that may see 3k miles a year and only on sunny days.

Or the guys that buy synthetic and change it MORE frequently than petroleum. :ham:

For those interested, here’s a link to a free oil sample collection kit. You then send it to the lab for analysis for $22.50. Over the next year I am going to test my oil twice. Once at 3k and once at 10k miles. That way I will know if I’m really waiting too long by going 10k miles.

I’ve used a service before, not this one though. It found a bearing problem I had in a 200sx.

I drain after usually 2 events, though it depends on how long they are. Sometimes after one.
