revmatch skipping and stuck in sport

Dealers aren't suggesting 3000 mile OCIs any longer. Most owner's manuals suggest 7500 miles or more these days for new cars. Some new Fords are on 12K mile intervals.

The real scam is $80+ for an oil charge when I can find Mobil 1 for $25 at Walmart and most shops charge $10-15 for labor.

If you want a real idea of what your OCI should be for your specific car, get an oil analysis done by Blackstone Labs.

Full Synthetic oil can handle 7500 miles without any issues. I was told by some that even conventional oil can go 5000 miles easily.

BMW M3 has an 15k miles oci.

The way those M3's spit out crank and rod bearings I wouldn't use that car as an example. Just sayin.
