3k plus oil change!!
i know some of u guys religiously change yur oil every 3k miles.. but how many of u change it a little bit beyond that? cuz i heard synthetic u can change it a little longer interval than regular oil. how many push for 3500 miles or more? my oil change was due at 38,500.. but im broke till next week...

i never ever change it below 4500, and then thats only if ive been racing a lot. otherwise i usually go 6k. oils have gotten alot better, and way too ****** expensive to change it any more often. i might even switch to Amsoil 15k formula. would be nice to change oil once a year

IN our SBC powered dirt oval racecar we run 8 quarts of full synthetic 20w-50 Valvoline VR1 racing oil. We change it every 300 laps (about every 3 weeks), and the filter every 100 laps. Oil changes on my Firebird seem like nothing after doing the racecar oil for the last 3 years

I have owned my Formula since new. I run Mobile 1 5w30 with a AC Delco filter and change mine at 5000 miles everytime. We do the same thing on our 2006 Lincoln LS as well and did the same thing on our 2002 Grand Prix when we had it.
Newer oils preform alot better than the ones from 10 years ago. There is no need to change oil under 5000 miles unless you just like spending the money.
