when I had 7 cars to look after at one point, before all the working at home, one starts to care about oil change intervals so they arent doing oil changes twice a month on the family fleet doing 3k/5k changes. Much easier when you only have 1-2 cars.

We only had 2 cars but each did 30k + a year, at 3K ODIs I was looking at more than 20 oil changes a year. Moving ODIs to 5-6K on my Infiniti and 9-10K on the Sequoia meant about 8 changes. Also, a lot less used oil to recycle… a slightly greener practice overall.
Oil is cheap, but it’s not always about money. Time saved is important but I think for many, the most important factor is peace of mind. We all change our oils at intervals we’re most comfortable with.

I always try and buy I cars I can do on the ground, only one I have to lift is the A8. All the others are just turn wheels all the way to the left and drain/replace filter. The 430 actually even allows me to do the trans fluid and coolant on the ground as well. 460 is only oil/coolant.
Makes an oil change a 10 min max process for any of them

This thread is very interesting and pertains to me.
I now work from home and put about 5k miles per year on my vehicle. I am not at the number of miles to change the oil, but am at greater than 6 months. I only have maybe 3k on it, since my last oil change.

Great video as usual, and more of a reason to change oil often.
