Good to you! I hope you have continued success.


Do what you want , nobody forcing anything on you. There are certain driving conditions the would be good idea to change oil more frequently. But, you know what doing. Lot people been driving for decades and most trade ever 3 years or less. A yugo probably last 3 years if done nothing? Well, maybe not Yugo??? It’s usually second or third owners that experience problems from lack of preventative maintenance for previous owners, why most that have clue look at maintenance records on used vehicles.
