[gathers forum members for an intervention...]

after I blew up my 350 (with a poorly thought out DIY turbo install) I then only changed the oil filter every 10-12k miles, I was adding a quart every 2 months due to a slooow rear main seal leak so figured the oil was being changed that way, it lasted another 50k miles after I blew up then fixed myself (new pistons/
rods and oil pan)
I just let it leak as I'd already had to pull the engine twice due to screwing up the oil rings install the first time, spy-hunter level smoke screen throughout the test drive [i did have to swear to MrsBurntz I'd never put a turbo on this one, apparently I have a one engine limit (hello supercharger!)]

consider sending off your oil to be tested, if they say "why did you send us new oil" you could lengthen your interval, I'm hoping you don't use synthetic Enjoy!
