Car Question

I would say change the oil every 1500 miles or once a year.  Change the filter, too.  It is an expense, but goes a long way to keep metal crud out of the moving parts of the car's engine.

If the filter is changed, watch under the car a few times to see if oil is occasionally dripping.  This happens if they don't lube the seal of the filter with oil or tighten the filter enough.

Cheers

Okay.   Thanks for the warning on the filter and looking for leaks.  In my lifetime, there have been two times where the mechanics didn't tighten the seal correctly.  :(
