I don't do an oil change on this engine cause I have one that I am waiting to swap in. second the fact that I can go that long on the older engine and still get good fuel economy speaks for how good the engine is, most cars start to suffer fuel economy when an oil change is needed. Also on the newer engines the service interval is 10k miles, so the first oil change (without filter change) is at 10k and then every 10k after, with every other change including a filter change. this is straight from the factory service manual. try to remember that not every car is restricted to the old rules of maintenance, some of us drive cars that use newer technology, and not some gas guzzling ford. the reason honda's blow motors are numerous, no doubt, as it relates to oil it would be from not having enough, as long as there is some and the oil galleys are not cloged, the motor keeps going.

the true test of something is not how it performs when conditions are perfect, but how it performs when the shit hits the fan.

hondas hold up under this test, how long before your "superior" car would give up?

also this is a thread asking for opinions, so if you are going to start calling names for my opinion, then you need to get the fuck out of this thread. You may think I am an idiot for the way I am handling my car, as I have explained there is a purpose, however I know your an idiot for claiming to own that 04 cobra.
