I guess it's their money if they wanna blow it on oil changes every two weeks thinking it helps then go on. lol I'll do my $80 oil change once a year and save money for that procharger install.

I highly doubt anyone is doing any of the said listed with a sports car. I mean I've changed my oil twice since Ive owned it, it has 11000 miles on it. First was done at 2000 miles with amsoil. Im not due to change it until august that'll be a year. I'll get the oil analyzed and I guarantee it has tons of life still in it. If there is someone out there that tows with a camaro you need your grape checked out.

For some reason those comments throwing money away on early oil change make me laugh, if you driving a v8 for fairly driving like me you throwing money away in fuel anyways. So what's 1 oil change more a year than you planned to do.

That's maybe a little too often.

I use this as well, oil life sensor indicates 60% check my oil, if it's dark change it, if it's still light in color run it to 50% then change
3K rule is old school thinking unless you're tracking your car. If you're tracking your car you should be changing to a heavier oil each track day anyway
