    seems like a waste of oil to change it at that interval

    I change the oil in my Neon at 5K mile intervals. My Neon is chilling in the driveway with 170K+ miles. It still pulled a 12.0 @ 118 during Import Face-Off which is quicker than the 12.2 @ 117 runs I was pulling back in late 2005/early 2006 when the odometer was still around 13K miles.

    Can one synthetic oil really be that much different than another brand? I figure you should have about the same lubrication from a synthetic castrol vs. a synthetic mobil 1 considering all other factors remain the same?
