Oh yeah, that's right, they said to change it at 12.5k miles if you are going for longer than that on the oil...yet pewter99 changes his at 4k or so, and you change yours at 8k. Hmmm...I see something interesting here. I'm a little shady with the complicated math here, but it looks like both those admittedly hard to work with numbers are BELOW 12.5k.

Now, stop being such a ****ing tool and stop posting. You are being argumentative and you are insulting many respected members of this forum just because they called you out on being a total azzhole. How mature of you.

Well I finally read this whole thread. I've tried to stay away , but the number of posts got me, as I figured there had to be some fierce controversy and name calling. This is almost as good as the Cold Air Intake threads. Great reads, sic 'em Guys.

This thread sucks.
Asking about oil change intervals sucks too.
Oil sucks.
I'm removing all my oil in protest and only using pudding from here on in.
What is the best interval to change your pudding at?
