Having a disagreement with SO (pics to come) and the owners manual of her vehicle says 7,500k however where she had her oil changed last time told her 3k and put the sticker at 3k.

Right now she is 500 miles over their recommended change and freaking out about ruining her vehicle.

I usually go about 10k between mine
She has a 2012, I have a 2013

I go 8-10K

My vehicle manual recommends once a year or every 19K miles, whichever comes first

she looks like a mail order bride from russia


Am I missing out by not getting a 97 point inspection by the professionals at Jiffy Lube?

I go 6,000, but I'm sure I could stretch it a little further. My car's also a 2006, so 6,000 is what I've always done.

My car has Maintenance Minder and is supposed to let me know when it needs the oil changed. It drives my husband crazy because he does all our routine maintenance and he can't get numbers from the owners manual or service department. I keep getting calls from one of the Honda dealers telling me my car is due for maintenance and when I tell them it has less than 3000 miles on it, they say never mind. So those folks do have mileage figures in mind, they just won't tell us.

She lacks respect for you.
Get that straightened out ASAP.


Tell her the engine manufacturers and the car makers that provide the warranty know a good bit more about oil change intervals than the minimimum wage technicians at Jiify Lube.
Always follow the manufacturers guidelines.

I have always followed the manufactures recommendations and it has never let me down. You can extend it if your car normally does not take synthetic and you replace it with synthetic. I am noticing the newer cars are using a pure synth or synth blend.
