[QUOTE="goblues38, post: 1395325, member: 29724"] oil change opinions are like a$$holes.....everyone has one. Book says every 10K based on driving style and oil change indicator. I changed 1st oil at 5k miles, then every 8-9k there after. Modern cars and modern oil change the rules of the past. 3 months or 3,000 miles is just a waste of money. Any boosted motor (turbo or supercharged) should be using premium gas. PERIOD, and of story. Yes, you CAN run 87. But you are down on power (up to 11%) and down on efficiency. So that .50¢ a gallon you save ends up as a wash because you get less MPG and less HP. Why buy a 450hp truck, only to put cheap gas in it and realize 410hp. Makes no sense. [/QUOTE]
