The 3,000 Mile Oil Change 'Myth'

[mushroom_toy]

I run Havoline 10w40 in my 86 Accord, 406,000 mile Honda, with a bosch or wix filter. I usually change my oil every 3-6k depending on whenever I get around to it. The Honda has always had 10w30 ran in it, but then I switched to 10w40, since my small oil burning on highway.

I use Shell 10w40 in my 79' Kawasaki 400, with a kawi filter. I have only changed the oil once since Ive had it since ive only driven it about 20+- miles.

I run Mobil 1 full synthetic 10w30 in my 91 Toyota pickup, with a bosch filter.

To me the best filters are either the Bosch or Wix filters.

234k before the switch, and im noticing a small leak now that I use the synthetic, but I think its just the oil pan gasket that hasnt ever been replaced, but I dont drive the truck right now anyway, so it may just be from sitting so long.
