Oil Changes WAS: Fumoto Oil Drain Plug

[SuffolkD at aol.com]

No way Bernie:
20K a filter? Once a year MAYBE....it you drive 5-10,000 miles.
I did that in a 4000Q:  10K between changes was Black oil....even a FRAM 
filter! YIKES
NEVER in a turbo........bearings LOVE dirty oil from infrequent 
changes...............
