Thanks for the info. Very interesting.
SphyNxXx - I change mine when the DIC shows between 40 and 45% oil life remaining. That comes to about 4500 miles.

Like many others I do my own oil changes. I change the Mobil One once a year. The first oil change was done when I bought the car in Oct. of '03. I didn't care about the dealer saying the oil was "recently" changed. I changed it anyway. This year the mileage was only 2,600 miles but it was time to change. I think I added about half a quart during the year to keep it at the "full" mark.
