Re: 1St Oil Change Due....
33k, going in in the next couple weeks for oil change #4. That's moderate driving (half highway, half in town). What amazes me even more is that at least 5k of that is full off-road, usually gravel lots of dust, etc. and the air cleaner is still clean-as-new. I remember having to change air cleaners all the time on dusty roads back in the day of carbs and open air cleaners. I love technology...  |

AMEN !!!

Yeah...from one old man to another...  ..your correct. That was the deal back then. Guys use to brag how they would change oil at 1000 miles and 1500 miles. I always changed it at 2500. But ...as stated that was back in the old days.
After this 3000 mile change it'll be @ 5000 mile intervals. and...who knows maybe at 10K miles with the new Mobil one long Life BS that just came out. |
