ok, but wouldn't it be nice if you did not have to change your oil every
3,000 or 5,000 miles? Also, wouldn't it end up being cheaper. I am using
Mobil 1 right now, and am happy with it. But, this may be a cheaper way to
go. So, if it holds up better than the Mobil 1, that would be good. Their
website suggest draining the oil at 25,000 intervals. That is a long time
to go without an oil change. Any one else have any experience with this
stuff?
