    Change your oil every six months..WHY?..Time vs. mileage

    because you could possibly be driving LESS miles. but idling the engine the same time you would normally be driving it for those 5000 miles.... so lets say one guy drives 50-60 miles to work every day, and its a straight shot no traffic... over 6 months, he has 5000 miles accumulated. another...

    Got Oil Jet's?
