Default question about oil change intervals
ive been reading around the threads and have noticed most ppl change their oil at around 3000 miles or so....and i was jsut wondering if it would be all right to have oil changes every 5k miles?

Follow the interval recommended in your manual.

Ive changed it @ 7500 and the oil still had another 2500 mi of life left. With syn you can push it that far easily.
