I don't have to be an oil specialist to know what majority of engines can do I know from personal experience and through knowledge. Yes changing the oil when it still looks brand new will be best but a certain amount of wear is expected regardless. Everyone has different priorities, yours may be changing the oil at 5k but I can guarantee you're a cheap cnt in other areas of life as we are all the same and as I said everyone has different "priorities"... As I did say, that is MY" opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
