Can't really agree with you about oil changes >

when you say 5k miles is a long time between them. I change mine at every service (6k miles) but over here in the UK that's pretty unusual, and we have very congested driving conditions which should make for more frequent changes. Saab say 12k in normal driving: even the oil in my diesel van is supposed to last 13½k - ask Mercedes. My car has 120k miles and I don't use much oil between changes, perhaps a third or half a litre.
I just wrote a revoltingly preachy paragraph about preserving world resources, then realised that I burn up lots of fuel by driving too fast, so I'm as guilty as the next TSN participant. So paragraph deleted, and I'd better stop now! But Sully can always top up between changes rather than chuck the lot away and start again. :<)
