I doubt there is "a lot" but that's what filters are for.

I would say a lot of this depends on how your driving your car. For me personally I run an oil change though winter and for summer about every 2 autocross events depending on how hard i am on the car.

Well in the immortal words of Rooster Cogburn (I think)....."I don't know much but I know what I know".....or something like that...

Or, as put much more clearly by Donald Rumsfeld:

" . . . because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know."
