That's a big unnecessary waste of money,time&effort! Especially the money! That's over 720 dollars for one car per year, in oil! The oil us not dirty(unless your tracking). The proprieties haven't had a chance too work.

If anyone is running synthetic, there's no reason to change it before 4 to 5K miles (unless you do some SERIOUS tracking)

That Castrol Edge website is retarded... But aside from that, I'd try it after the break-in period.

Dad,
I change oil every 6000 miles and rotate tires and replace air filters at the same time. Its easy to keep track of what needs to be done that way. Sorry for the mix up.
