After the first oil change...

[Chupacabra]

Changing the oil is the single most important thing that one can do to maintain and extend the life of their vehicle. On a new car....I recommend changing the oil at between 500-1000 miles. After that....I would change the oil every 3K miles or 5mo., whichever comes first regardless of synthetic oil or dino. This is my own style and I don't agree or disagree necessarily with any other regimen BUT do practice my own interval outlined above.

Would you please cite your scientific information on this strategy?

Or is it just how you "feel"?

If you go the scientific route and get UOA's on your oil, you will find that your strategy makes no sense, and has no basis in reality; none whatsoever.
