). I think I have read that engine oil should be changed every 3k miles or 6 months. How did they come up with those numbers? Probably marketing,




Yep, brought to you by the same bunch that tell you Pepsi goes bad if it's been on the shelf for too long.

When pigs fly will oil EVER go bad: it's been in the ground for millions of years. We have several cars that get driven maybe once every 3 years with 20 year old oil in them and they run great whenever they get sparked up. If oil really did expire then wouldn't they have a hole eaten out of the oilpan?

Hope that answers your question!

By the way, change oil at 6 or 8 thousand miles, not 3: you're just throwing money away.
