Why's this guy doing oil changes every 3k miles on his Jeep? Just spend the extra $5 for synthetic and push it out to 5k+ miles.

Edit: this does seem interesting but I think it would work better as a smartphone app that syncs with your home server. I drive a lot for work and it would be a huge pain in the ass to continually track mileage and whatnot on my desktop (or presumably from a webui on my phone but only in range of my wifi).

Haha yeah

Hides my car always pushing 10k miles

I also run around 10k miles between changes, but newer engines (2013 Camry) are much easier on the oil than a straight-six from 1992 so I'd be hesitant to push it quite as far without doing an oil analysis. You could also just change the filter and keep the same oil at 5k then change both at 10k (again depending on how dirty the engine makes it).

Haven't looked into it but do shops offer lube analysis services? Yeah you could send out your own sample to a lab, having it as a shop service would be way more accessible to people.

Though, in my experience, getting people to commit can be a pain, lots of "yeah I know we have a long p-f interval and it's super noticeable before it functionally fails, but it's not that much effort so I'm doing needless maintenance anyhow just in case", which end of the day you do you.
