Question of the Day - August 24th

Since Karen's on vaca, I'm going to fill in for her!

Do you really get your oil changed every 3,000 miles?

*hides*

Nope!!

ermm i dont drive but i dont think my DH does.

Um, thanks for reminding me...

Nope, I am way overdue... Gonna have the bf do it this weekend. Im usually good about it but not this last time.

I just bought an '07 Toyota Camry. I only have to get my oil changed every 5000. My boyfriend and I are both really into cars though so I do get my oil changed on time.

Yes, I drive 200 miles to work every day (round trip) so yes we get it done more often.

Wow thats a log way!

When I had a car I used to be bad atchanging oil, now hubby on the other hand does it himself and on time!

Ummmmm..... ......thanks for reminding me.

Glad I'm not the only one!!

Yes, it keeps the car running better for longer when you keep up proper maintance.

New vehicles do not need oil changes every 3000 miles I thinks its now 7500 miles.
Anyhow Neil uses synthetic oil and changes it only once/year!!

huh! I've heard the 5,000 but never 7500 that synthetic thing might be worth it

Once you go full synthetic remember that you cant go back... Just a key point I thought I would throw in. Granted, synthetic is better (cost more too) but once you do it you have to stick with synthetic from then on...

Absolutely. A "minor" routine thing like that is very beneficial for the running of your car long term. I am rigid about doing it timely.

No Im bad. I just get them every once in a while. My ex-husband used to change the oil and I never had to think about it so now I forget.

Yes... just because it takes me six months to dive 3000 miles.

John does it whenever get gets a "new" car... cause the car has usually been sitting in a field for 20 years, LOL. The cars usually don't stick around long enough after that to need to change it again.
