i change my oil every 2000 to 2500 miles? can you change your oil too much? the oil is pretty dark by the time i change it, so i dont think that its too bad.

the only bad thing is the cost and extra wear and tear on the oil pan fittiings and lower shield .use a full synthetic 5w30 and a premium filter and change every 3000 miles you cant go wrong......good luck

:eek: talk about cost...why bother with synthetic if you're going to change it that often?

Dark oil after only 2000 miles...

You may want to send in an oil sample for analysis, just to make sure engine is alright.

shoot... i change my oil about every 5000 miles, and its fine. Changed the oil in our 1990 corolla every 7500 miles for 10 years... it ran fine, never gave us a single problem.
