    Been a year for me and I am going on Saturday for one. Have gone about 3,700 miles. I'm sure someone out there has one year beat.

                  Never had an oil change

                  a car mechanic always told me this and it saved me 1000's

                  " Put your fukkin radio real loud so you hear nothing"

                  When you hear things (noises,ect) you bring to a mechanic and they fukkin rape you.

                          I always got an oil change every 3 to 5000 KM. My Chevy had over 300,000 km and ran perfect.

                          Change the oil and the vehicle will last you years longer. Trust me

                              $22 at Mr Lube, free coffee and paper. !0 minutes you're done, lube the joints, top up windshield fluid, new oil and filter. 25K vehicle and small price to pay IMO. It worked for me.

                                      i don't ever change the oil. when i need to add some i add synthetic. i don't believe that oil filters do anything and i don't believe that synthetic oils "break down". i also never wash my car with soap, (when you use soap you take some of the wax off of the paint job), i just use water and a little elbow grease.

                                            3000 is a number created by the Oil change companies. I usually wait 5000. Never had a problem waiting.
