This way i know that there are LESS contaminants, and lesser chance of sludge formation.
Dino oils have a recommended oil change interval of 3k miles (which was the common accepted "rule" for decades)....With the advent of better Synth oils the "average" oil change interval is around 10k miles ......I personally change Synth oils NO MORE than 7k miles this way i know that i am always below the recommended interval.
BTW, engine design could, and can also contribute to sludge formation (crankcase breathing design, etc....etc).

Don't forget about the air filter. I almost did. I never thought that would help until I started doing some research.

The warranty company paid for the IMS bearing replacement for Jhandy's car!!!
AMAZING! The bearing was actually bad and the Inspector saw it first hand.

I don't think I want to deal with any more of these Morons... Its just not worth it, it took them 3 weeks to even decide what they were going to pay for.
