I'm the only person who's ever changed the oil on my Vette.
Every 3k or less from day one.
I'm too old & stubborn to change now...

Myth 2: Newer engines can go longer between changes,,,,, True,,,, but we are not talking about "newer" engines. Myth 2: True on OLD engines.
Myth 5: Once again probably true on a 50 year old engine.
My myth/opinion: You can use new synthetic oil in all engines without any issues. I think older engines like old style oil better than newer oils.
