Define “routinely.”

If you mean changing it every 6 months or 3,000 miles like the stickers they put on your windshield say then you’re a complete idiot.

Newer vehicles can easily go 7,500 miles between oil changes.

At a reasonable frequency.

The guy at the place I have my oil changed at more or less said this. Said they have to put a 3k mile sticker, but you can typically go at least 5k.

I rarely push beyond 5-6k just because my truck has a lot of miles on it and I drive it pretty hard. I've put 2k on it in about a month and a half...lol!

This thread is a perfect example of why I don't buy used cars.

There's a reason for those big depreciation numbers. They're a warning, not an opportunity.
