- around every 3k miles, no longer than 5k.
- (info spouted by some other poster somewhere, and, i think, a good
- insurance policy!..but up to you..this is my suggestion that you asked
- for...others may have other recommendations, and good reasons for them..
- but, the arguement there was that the viscosity breakdown was not a
- problem, but, as with any oil, the detergents will collect grungies,
- and so you still need to change the oil every 3-5k to get rid of these
- crudolies, even though the oil may be good for 100k, it will still get
- contaminated.)
- good luck
