I agree, most of the people in here change their oil far to early, and ignore the labs recommendations, and your engine is always wearing metals, And then people start stressing if they see one number off they over analyze it. Pay attention to your driving habits during oci, know your cars characteristics I.e d.i for fuel and go from there. Then people say they are on a budget for oil, yet paying x amount for uoa. Save the money from the uoa buy a full synthetic, and change at 5-7k. Check your filter or cut it open from time to time. Only time I have ever done them, after purchasing a used vehicle, or if new done one at 75-80k. Pay for the best oil possible instead of someone who's advice you probably still won't follow anyway.
