Oh come on Walt -- everyone knows manufacturers stretch out published change intervals for marketing purposes. Could quote Robert Sikorsky (the "Drive It Forever" guy) about that, but people had apoplexy last time I mentioned syndicated auto column. Manufacturers also recommend too light viscosity to increase fuel economy numbers BTW. Engine oil costs HALF as much as gasoline (on sale by the case) -- again I ask, "why not?" Shake my head (and rattle the ear ring) in amusement: have obtained online reputation as mechanical menace despite fact NEWEST vehicle in my stable is a 1985 truck with 200,000 miles on odometer. 5 out of 8 vehicles at or above 100,000 miles. Shepherded ex-wife's Escort (1.9 liter) to 250,000 miles at time of departure. Speaking of jewelry: technically have ear rings -- plural. Might even be pierced someplace else not normally exposed to sunlight, but you're going to have to pay extra to see that.
