Can I ask why? I'm just curious. Testing has proven the oil-monitor conservative. Newer engines just don't mess up your oil. It is your money, and I respect the desire to take the very best care of your engine, it's just that this is a pretty obvious way to save time, money, and oil. You engine will be fine (probably outlast the rest of the vehicle!)

I get mine changed every 3K but that's because I get free service for the first 36K miles

x2, plus I like to waste oil, it's my part of developing an interesting future and push for alternative fuels.

I'm with you there. Might as well burn it up before some Chinese fat cat does!

I prefer to burn my oil in the form of gasoline.. And racking up those fun miles. Not waste time at the dealer draining and refilling oil when it's not necessary.

And look how long the typical new car buyer actually keeps his vehicle. When he sells or trades it in 3 or 4 years, he never gets a penny extra for all the extra oil changes that were done twice as often as necessary.

The few people that keep a new vehicle long enough to drive it into the ground are very rare. And they are the only ones that have any hope of seeing any benefits of all the wasteful oil changes.

But oil company's do want more business for sure.
