    Wow, that's a waste of oil. And money.

    So is gambling, high end foods/restaurants, new vehicles, or destination vacations.

    But that doesn't seem to stop people from doing any of those things.

    Let the man change his oil every 200 miles if it makes him happy.

    Cheap insurance changing your oil early , I find it amazing that people worry about changing there oil more often yet they will buy a 6 dollar cup of coffee every day at a Starbucks . No matter what anyone says the oil is cleaner at 5 k than 10 k . Now is the oil still good ? Probably , but why not keep the engine internals super clean . My 300 k corolla when I changed the valve cover gasket last year , the inside under the valve cover looked brand new . I don’t believe for one minute that keeping an engine that clean doesn’t make it more probable that the engine won’t last longer with out issues . I’ve done that with all my cars and never had an issue .
