- On my RX-7, I change the oil every 3-4K miles, and for the next 1000 miles it
- is so light that I can't see the mark on the stick unless I hold it up to the
- light and look for the higher reflectativity of the oil. At about 3K miles
- it's fairly dark on the stick, and when I dump it it's pretty nasty.
