Yes, and we'll see. I've got a 6-pack of UOA kits inbound from Blackstone, I'm going to have them look at my Nissan Ester Oil from the first change too.

So very true. Using a quality name brand oil in the proper weight is all that is necessary. Changing the oil every 3,000 miles while using synthetic isn't necessary, but I guess it gives people something to do on the weekend.
3,000 miles is excessive for some people, sure. The oil analysis will help hone in on the right values, but I'll be playing it safe until then.
