I don't know, back when I had the Diesel Escort, the extra filter at the oil change place was a buck. At the discount auto parts the first filter was $15 and the second was $11, addd six quarts of oil and that $24.95 oil change seemed like a bargain.
Back in the day, my 1980 Pinto's manual said to change the oil every 10,000 miles, why did they change that? Most likely because while 10K changes are fine, 30K changes are a disaster waiting to happen. So they went back to recommending 3K so people would actually change it every 10K or so. BTW when I sold the Pinto with 120K on it it was not using a drop of oil between changes. I have used 10K oil changes ever since with never a problem. However I now change annually as I only put on about 5K a year with Mr Bush's gas prices. No, I don't go nowhere these days. Don't we do this thread every year?
