YACT - Is the 3-month/3000mi oil change schedule a marketing ploy?

Soy, you still haven't provided proof of your claims (that changing the oil at intervals beyond 3k miles will seize an engine, which is inferred by you claim of "...how black and dirty the oil looks...after 3k miles...pay 3k instead of 15.99 to replace your seized engine"). Since you made the claims, you carry the burden of proof for your claims.

He can't prove it. That's why he's spouting all the childish anger. He was stupid, he lied, he got called on it and he's mad at himself for being such a jerk. He just lacks the maturity to admit that he's a jerk, so he's acting like a normal 12 year old and blaming everyone else for picking on him. It's pretty classic behavior, children lack the ability to behave properly and learn how to rationalize it.

Be nice to the little idiot, this is the only attention he gets other than the big kids beating him up and stealing his milk money.

I love you people sometimes. Instead of refuting what I say, you insert tool and idiot in the same post. I don't know you at all and cannot recall reading a single one of your posts. I can assure you that you haven't done that to anyone in real life that you casually know. I hope the lack of restraint you use here does bring itself to the forefront when dealing with real people so one of those real people can rearrange your face for you.

Am I saying that I'm going to to it? No. If we were in normal conversation and you did this to me there with the familiarity we have I'd play you off as a psycho and avoid you. Not everyone is as forgiving as I however.

Enjoy your internet badass wings boy.

You're still allowed to post? Wow I hope the Mods at least warned you.

I never said anything of the like. And....you still haven't provided proof of your claims, yet you have responded numerous times to other people's posts.

ROFL!!! Skippy, we've refuted EVERYTHING you say. You claim that lack of oil changes at 3,000 mile intervals causes engines to seize. You've been challenged to provide a single shred of factual data to support that. You can't. We all know that you were talking out of your ass and trying to pass off having knowledge about a subject that you clearly don't understand. Hell, even you know how full of s**t you are. The sad part is that you're such a child that you can't admit it to yourself.

Do your own test.

1. Get the oil changed.

1. Check the oil, look how nice and light brown, and clear it looks

1. Drive 3K miles

1. Check the oil, look how gross and black, and dirty it looks

1. Don't change it, leave it be

1. Pay 3K instead of 15.99 to replace your seized engine

Wasn't that easy?

Not nearly as easy as demonstrating what a tool you are.

You're an idiot. I challenge you to provide any legitimate statistics that show changing the oil every 7,500 miles instead of every 3,000 will lead to seized engines like you claim. Put up or shut up.

Look at the little internet fagg being a tough guy. Pathetic loser. How about you post the stats fagg?

Look at SoylentGreen going elsewhere for a couple of weeks to remind himself about forum courtesy.

5000 miles/month? Damn, that's a lot of driving.

I once put 12,000 miles on my car in a month 🙂

That would be gay people. They share history and geographic distribution.

hardly. Their history is all over the map, and gay people are all over the world, not in one or more specific areas.

Are left-handed people a race? They fulfill those definitions just as tenuously as gay people. What about people who have had measles?

Doesn't matter, anything derogatory toward the gay community is not tolerated here, as evidence by the ban.

That's not my point, I'm just being a stickler for the proper definitions of words.

I was told, and follow

Regular : Change every 3000 miles
Synthetic : Change every 5000-7000 Miles

The CHP changes their synthetic oil every 10,000 miles i believe. 3000 miles is where your car ahs 'broken in the oil' so to speak and can utilize it fully.
Don't use synthetic unless there is a good reason to, as you don't save money since the cost for synthetic is more the 2x higher, and you don't get more than 2x the milage (in a lot of cases)

I won't take part of the flame war, as tempted as i am.
