Most cars here are on a 12 months oil change or every 15K km (10K miles) which ever comes first.

How can they justify changing 3 times more often? What is the purpose apart from making 3 times more money?

Is it a car company conspiracy to use up Americas oil?

15k miles is with synthetic oils, like Mobile One, not fossil-based...(nt) - mkuller 13:28:04 07/01/09 (0)
