save some money, save some times, top it off and change it every 6 months.
I'm not sure what you mean by "none of us really get to that mileage" but I'm guessing you mean in 6 months. I do just under 10k/year and I'm one of "those guys" that changes it when my car tells me... which is every 10k/year.
That said, I'm about 9k into my current oil and I had to add 2 quarts yesterday. That's the only time I've ever had to add but 2 quarts on 9k isn't that bad I don't think. Who knows, my engine may detonate tomorrow... which I'm okay with 'cause it's still under warranty. Even when I was having my oil pressure warning (gremins) the oil levels were fine.
yeah, i meant in 6 months.
