Fumoto Oil Drain Plug

[Bernie Benz]

You guys are changing oil and filters far to often, IMO!  Once a year in
nice weather, or oil at 10K and filter at 20K are an easy to remember
milestones.  The other philosophy to which I subscribe and recommend to my
non wrenching son is to never change oil, just change cars every 200K.
