Then you've got goofballs like me on the other end of the spectrum that change out Amsoil every 500-1000 miles. For the record though, that's a once a year oil change on 2 vehicles.

I change the oil in all my daily's once a year. We put about 8-10k a year on our truck and GTI, the rest get oil changes rarely ever.

I got this sentiment from my dad. About 8 years ago we were working on his truck and he confessed he hadn't changed the oil in like 4 years. His engine lasted to over 360k before it was just too damn tired to even pull 5th gear up a slight incline. But it still ran.

I find this very interesting. Lately I’ve been pushing the oil change intervals on the r8 to about 18 months since I’m only average 1-2k miles per year. This only backs my theory that oil doesn’t need to be changed that often.
