Well, the family could also come out to the garage and hang out with you while you do the deed, too you know!

Okay, so what about all of the combustion and wear products that are too small to be captured by the filter? I'm guessing they suspend in the oil. Getting them out cannot be a bad thing. Oil is cheap. Engines are expensive.

I'll spend the extra $320 to have the extra time with my family.

Oil is cheap. Over a 200,000mi time, considering $20/change @ 3k miles = $1333
You're not going to save a lot of money not changing the oil
I still run synthetic though, and I run it 5k.

Other than the training command (T-34C, T-2, TA-4), all EA-6Bs (ICAP-1 & ICAP-2). With VMAQ-2 from '86 through '91.
Hey, they didn't call them "Grumman Iron Works' for nothing. Great, well-built machines (that, btw, used Group-V lube oil!). Alas, echoing a theme in the parallel CAD thread, none of the last "pure" Grumman products were very easy to fix. When they declawed the final surviving Tomcats last year, they were soaking up almost 10x the maintenance hours to keep flying as were the newer F-18s. Oh well, sorry for veering OT...Quote:

AME2, VA-35/USS Nimitz. Gru-7 Martin Bakers, LOX, all that.
Wasn't Grumman wunnerful?
