Wow! You guys must own an oil analysis company. No I don't bother with an oil analysis because I maintain my vehicles on a regular basis. It takes 10 minutes and $15-50 (depending on amount and brand). Well worth it to know my vehicles will last a very long time!
And unless you see first hand what an extended oil change interval can do you don't know! I've seen failures from Hondas to Mercedes Benzes because of people that think 7k and up miles oil changes are all that is required! If you go by the schedule/OLM or even an oil analysis you're playing with fire and it's only a matter of time before you have issues. Sometimes you get lucky!
Your mistaken-motors don't fail due to an oil related issue. Hardly ever! The manufacturers have spent alot of research on their OLMs. Again-OLMs have been checked by UOAs and have been determined to be accurate.
You sir-don't know what your talking about.
I think some people need to research the various manuf. that have changed oil change intervals and updated the OLM in the computers. if they new so much there wouldn`t be any need to update the intervals!
I`m done here. not arguing with people that haven`t seen first hand what damage can be done by extended oil changes!:R
