i just got a fresh oil change after running 2750miles on my 03 mazda 6. Dad says i would notice a nice smoother ride immediately.. it feels so but I don't know if it's just placebo or not...

is it true?

yea everything. filter changed, everything drained.

I was just implying that unless you were running your engine with bazooka joe gum for a lubricant then you're not going to notice a "smoother" ride...

No. Not unless you had no oil, or had not changed the oil in so long that it was like molasses.
