It’s at the point of amusement. I’m retired I have time. It’s fun seeing people try to convince me I’m using oil. I’m buying oil at the prescribed time. It gets drained and new goes in. Do I add in between, no. My oil doesn’t even get dirty in 5k miles. I don’t even see any drop on the stick. I check in the same place. All is well.
So using that analogy. Honda,Toyota, VW and others go extended. All my Hondas at 5K miles are at 50 percent with oil changes. My Camry I bought new my Grandaughter now drives gets 10K oil changes. All mentioned vehicles are past 100k miles. Most past 150K. Two at 170K. I’m the only one who checks oil. The only one who changes early. When they visit I check their oil, tires etc. if they were to use oil I would swap out with them. So I know they wouldn’t run dry. They don’t use oil according to the dipstick. One 2010 Mazda 3 we found really cheap another grand daughter drives. It’s getting near 180K no oil usage. That’s again is according the dipstick. I can’t make it any clearer.
