but you need to show to next owner or trade in that you serviced the car regularly . i would not want to buy a 5 year old car that had the oil changed ag long interval periods with out servicing even if it had low miles.

I agree with you....except about using synthetic.
I think for the vast majority of people down here, it is money wasted and dino oil is just fine.
While I used synthetics for all lubricants on my vehicle in my previous life...there was a reason for it.
With temperature variations of up to +90 deg. in the summer, to -55 degrees in the winter.....it made sense.
