RE: Oil Change Intervals

Nope.  

My average change interval is/was 7K miles.  I only changed the filter when I
changed the oil.  I know it's better to change more frequently, but at 1K miles
a week, it's just too much to do.  My thinking was that since Mobil-1 costs
twice as much, I'd leave it in twice as long. If I had the time, I'd change the
oil more often.  I really can't say that I caused any damage from my scheme,
but I do think changing the oil more often is goodness.
