Well, you're then changing you're oil more often than even the severe interval would suggest. Manufacturer's wouldn't suggest we left the oil in longer if it would damage the engine because if too many failed in service, people would just stop buying that manufacturer's cars, as well as claiming thousands in warranty pay-outs. If anything, it's the reverse. BTW, I work for an engineering company, in the quality control department. When we get parts in with a poor reliability record, we change suppliers. -- from Dave :-) <davidnopsam-ME-NOTbootsorion.demon.co.uk> Make obvious correction to reply He who dies with the most toys... wins!
