Btw what brand of car do you own?
We will have had it for 6 years on 8/10/25. My husband has made me change the synthetic oil 3 times already. It is now our only car - but still has been driven less than 3,000 miles so far this year. We rarely drive anywhere outside of "the bubble". I thought that agreeing to the mechanic putting in synthetic oil I would need to change the oil fewer times - and after greater mileage had elapsed. What advice do some of you "experts" out there suggest?
