Because people (we) beat the **** out of them.

Some people call it "raping" them. I say its just consensual rough sex (which sometimes involves injuries).

 

i change my oil every 2000 - 2500 miles, almost 10k on my HR and no oil problems.

 

Almost at 7k miles and...4 oil changes later, I haven't lost a drop! (knocks on wood). I check my oil every other fill up.

 

The owners manual states "every 3750"... you sir, are wasting money... just thought I'd let you know

 

Took a look at my odometer on my '08 and IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!1. Only problem I have with the HR is how damn fun it is to drive -- 9000 miles in 5 months. I've changed my oil thrice since January. GTX at 1300, GTX at 4600, and now AMSOIL at 7700. I'd consider my driving style 'spirited' but I do like to take it easy sometimes, especially now that gas costs what it does. So far, I'm not burning a drop; I always get a little over 5 qts out of her each change.

 

I've put about 15K on mine and no noticable consumption issues at all. I'm about to switch to synthetic too. I had horrible consumption issues in my 06 so I feel your pain. Do you guys not have something similar to a lemon law over there?

 

I have 21k miles on my car now. Very hard driven miles and tracked almost weekly.
Have NOT changed my oil for over 5k miles now. Oil still looks good. I will change it sometime this week if I have some time.

 

8300 miles here, no oil usage at all. Amsoil 0w30 since 1000 miles. Went to a PCA event this weekend and she saw redline the whole time. Basically 20 minutes 1/4 tank of gas gone.
