Well if we cant break you of that habit than no one can.
I grew up in a mechanic family. 3 mo or 3000 miles, ALWAYS! My truck has 220,000 miles. Recently had it semi-apart to replace a gasket, engine is clean as a whistle on conventional. It really pays of. Since it was sludge free, I have switched to Super Tech synthetic and I still change every 3000 miles.
So?
I change my conventional oil every 7500 miles and I don't have any sludge.
How many miles do you have on your engine and have you had it apart to see the inside? Also, what type of driving do you do?
It's actually my parents' car, but it has 128,000 miles now. I removed the valve cover at around 94,000 miles and there was only a light coat of varnish on the valvetrain. Up until two years ago, the car only saw 2-3 mile trips. It does consume 1 qt of oil every 3k and I always keep it topped off.
