[QUOTE="Scott Tanner, post: 774346, member: 58759"] I run my '02 15,000 miles on synthetic. Using synthetic and changing it out at 3 or 5,000 miles is just a plain waste of money, It doesn't get you very much.... I changed my Aerostar (aka 'Van O' Doom') oil at 6-8,000 mile intervals, With Dino oil,, and went 205,000 miles before the body rotted off of it. I donated it to a boy scout camp, and they used it for 2 years after that, and it still ran like new... In EXTREME usage cases the synthetic may need to be changed more often, like very short trips, 100+ degrees desert heat or constant towing. JMHO... [/QUOTE]
