the 5000mile oil changer did the worst for longevity engines gave it up at a bout 90000mile before needing some sort of repair the 3000 mile changers lasted 150000 and the 1000 changers were all still on the road.


if you change your oil frequently you can use the cheapest oil you can find.

I used to change my oil every 1000 mile but came to the realization that after 150000mile too many other things start to nickle and dime you to death . and for me thats the time to upgrade to a different vehicle.
