Definition of "driving hard" as it relates to oil changes.

You should look at it as "What is NOT driving hard".... Starting your car, warming it for a minute, going onto a highway and cruising at 60, arriving at destination

...anything else is driving hard...

Tracy, the others seem to disagree.

In my case, in city driving, I am quite gentle, my daily commute is about 4 miles with about 5 traffic lights and I do this 4 times a day. On the weekend, I drive out of town and sometimes, I drive at about 100 mph, give or take 20, for about 120 miles perhaps going over 100 mph for 10-15 straight minutes. The car does get hot on these drives but is it hard driving? I have been changing oil every 5000 miles (Mobil 1).
