The 3,000 Mile Oil Change Myth

Bill Siuru of Greencar.com states:
"According to a recent study by the California Integrated Waste Management Board, 73 percent of California drivers change their oil more frequently than required ...

Using 2005 data, the Board estimates that Californians alone generate about 153.5 million gallons of waste oil annually, of which only about 60 percent is recycled. Used motor oil poses the greatest environmental risk of all automotive fluids because it is insoluble, persistent, and contains heavy metal and toxic chemicals. One gallon of used oil can foul the taste of one million gallons of water.

It’s been a misconception for years that engine oil should be changed every 3000 miles, even though most auto manufacturers now recommend oil changes at 5,000, 7,000, or even 10,000 mile intervals under normal driving conditions.

Greatly improved oils, including synthetic oils, coupled with better engines mean longer spans between oil changes without harming an engine. The 3000 mile interval is a carryover from days when engines used single-grade, non-detergent oils."

Folks, we couldn't have said it better ourselves. It's way past time to dump this myth. There are more reasons now than ever to save with Amsoil - the leader in synthetic lubricants.

"High gas prices have brought more phony gas-saving devices to market. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tested more than 100 products that claimed to boost fuel efficiency. All of them failed to show significant gains, and those that did produce a small increase in fuel economy also increased emissions."
