You're wasting your money unless you drive EXTREMELY short trips, idle A LOT, and live in a desert. I change mine every 5k, had it analyzed and they said everything was fine and to try a 7k OCI. I have 202k miles on mine.

I was wondering how do you get your oil analyzed. Is there a place you send it to what is the charge? I do a 5k oci with mobil1 synthetic

My 01 F23A4 w/ 5Speed just rolled over 220,000 and still running strong. Cat is bad and seat is broken while the engine still going. I think the whole car will fall apart before the engine goes out:)
My big question is, how many more will I get out of it? I plan on keeping this car for at least another 2 years and I drive approx. 50K per year.
