Would this shorten engine life? well going off the same T/A I was talking about in another thread of mine, im wondering something about the engine.
I havent really looked at it, since it was dark and all, but according to the carfax I got on the car, the oil was changed usually every 10-12k miles.
Ive read they made them able to go to 10k miles per change, and I suppose if the oil life monitor said it was ok it would be fine. The vehicle was a lease vehicle and probably only was taken care of at a dealer, but in doing so it had other services performed as well.
So what im asking is on a 46k mile engine, would these habbits effect its overall life? I usually stuck by the mobile 1/royal puple every 2500 miles, but this person probably did not.

So to answer the question, I would run.....a car w/ 46k miles should have had atleast 15 oil changes....vs. 4 ?????
