That is when the oil gets changed. I use Amsoil and do it annually.
Spin a new filter on at 6 months and top it off. I’ve been using this stuff for all my auto and recreational needs for years and never had a problem. 3 vehicles with over 100k with 2 still owned by us.
I’ve decided that the quality of service now a day makes it more cost effective to take the time and do it myself. No missing plugs, loose filters, over tightened or under tightened lug nuts.
"Whats wrong with paying nothing???" At app 7.00/qt I would not call Amsoil a free or even cheap oil change. Buy conventional Castrol change it every 4,000 miles and you still will easily go over 100,000. I know, I've done it with 3 past vehicles. Today I use Mobil 1 full synthetic (still cheaper than Amsoil.)
