Have been doing this for 25 yrs and NEVER had one not make it. I believe the scheme is to use the best available oil (Mobil 1 for me) and change the oil and filter every 3000 miles. When I buy a car for $30,000 or 40,000 and I drive it for 250,000 miles it gets about 80 oil changes. With the Saab, I use the OEM filter that I buy in bulk(12 at a time) for about $22 and use Mobil 1 that costs about $3.75/Qt, so each oil change costs about $18. $18 * 80 = $1440 or about 4/5 car payments, since I drive these cars for about 120-180 months, seems like a bargain to me.
