Report This! I have a 1988 Honda Accord with 125000 miles. I change the oil when I remember. I'm sure i have gone over 20000 miles many times. There is no sludge and still has a perfect emissions test and no oil leaks. Changing oil at 3000 or 5000 is only wasting oil. This is what companies want.

With AMSOIL, my dad (and I) go intervals up to 12,000/1yr, whichever is earlier (well, he changed more than that in his dragster, but that's different). Haven't had any problems.
