Changing the oil

[TGCOFTN]

My 2007 H2 has 27,000 miles on it, and I use nothing but Synthetic Oil. No problems at all with it.
My 2008 has 8,000 miles on the factory oil, and still has 19% Oil Life Remaining. I dont change my oil until it says its ready. Changing oil at 3,000 or 4,000 miles is a waste of money. The way the engines are built now days, they are clean burning, they are not like the olden days where you put 3,000 miles on it, and the oil is JET BLACK........my 07 I can put 4,000 miles on it and its still clear. With my 08, I am should be able to get up to 9,500---10,000 miles on the factory oil before I change it. Everyone has there own preference, and I am sure people will bash me on this and say you need to change your oil sooner, but each and everyone has there own preference. Some like regular unleaded, others like Premium (which is all I use Shell V-Power) and I use Synthetic Oil.
For me........if your life oil meter says 45% your throwing your money away by changing it now.
