Al. My service book specifies every 4500 miles, I'll be changing mine every 3000 like I did with the MR2, oil is cheap compared to a rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 It's 2500 t0 3000 for me, oil and filter. I am just coming up for a change now and am suprised how clean the Magnetec looks on the stick compared to Valvoline at the same milage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Question is, does that mean the oil is holding together better or is it just not doing the job properly? -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I am sure I read a thread sometime ago about having oil samples chemically checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
