im shocked at how you guys treat your cars! ever look at your oil after 3k miles? the change in color is reason enough to change it. not to mention that even the owners manual states 3k oil changes. especially on a turbo car that sees high oil temps.

The 3 month / 3k miles suggestion comes from Jiffy Lube and other places that make money when you come in for an oil change. Car manufacturer suggestions are much longer. BTW, I have about 4k miles on my current oil change on my 3s-gte and the oil is a golden and down about 1/4 quart. This is with a small oil leak. I don't see a reason to change the oil yet. I do have a Fumoto oil valve if I want to check the quality of the oil though! -Charlie -------------------- 2003 Subaru WRX Wagon
