Mizouse Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 146k on my 96 Cutlass. Oil every 6k. My uncle is a mechanic and told me that it is completely un-necessary to change the oil every 3k miles. Alternator, water pump, and fuel pump replaced.

Also my friend manages one of the local Jiffy Lube's and i always go to him when i have to get any fluid changed... i just bring a better oil filter... instead of using the fram ones...(cardboard end caps ???)
