I"m not trying to get anyone to do this, it"s just what I do. It is "my" preference, although I know a lot of other people that does it to different degrees. I have said before, the last time I changed oil in a vehicle that I wasn"t overhauling was Mother"s day 1963 in a 1957 Chevy. I have owned many brand new vehicles since then and have put over 200000 miles on each and every one of them. When I buy a new vehicle I go buy the cheapest .75 cent a quart oil I can find and drain the original oil out and put that in. I don"t raise the hood again until 30 to 40 thousand miles to check it. My 03 Impala hood was raised last week for the first time at 63000 miles and the oil is fine. My 1950 Super A has been changed twice and both times when I put new rings in it. I would rather wait and see if the engine goes bad and spend the money on a new engine rather than spending it in small amounts for oil changes. Yes, my Super A smokes, but the head has never been reworked either. It will be next spring when I restore it though. And it will get its 3rd oil change.
