[QUOTE="BOOMINGRANDPA, post: 8593694, member: 671921"] i used to be an amsoil distributor., i've read a ton about oil.. # 1 never use reg oil always use at least a blend, the pensoil semi synthetic is 40% synthetic so if u have absolutely no leaks use that for 8k miles easy.. my valve cover gaskets have tiny leak (actually called seepage cause) front 1 has a recall and i can get new gasket and cover free just gotta drop car off but sometimes things do work the way they think, it's not really leaking now with castrol gtx hi mileage semi syn.. also new gm cars have oil monitor, wifes car says to change it at about 7-8k miles and thats with a blend she uses synthetic so could go longer.. oil breaks down because of repeated heating & cooling, condensation can get in motor so thats main reason to change oil, not that oil is bad just what is in motor with the oil.. if u leave car sitting u should start it and drive it 5 miles every 2 weeks to help oil protect engine parts, if u do that u could let it set for 18-24mo if u really only have like 1-2k miles with s semi synthetic oil... i have preached about importance oil of and proper changes for yrs.. amsoil did a big test with cabs some changed regularly some cars changed 6 months no diff in internal parts.. also girl i was in school with said her car was messing up she had it looked at oil hadn't been changed in 12 yrs only reason she had a problem was the filter stopped up!!!! so u don't have to change it that often just as long as it's every 15k miles u be fine with good oil and filter is big reason for change..
