3,000 Mile Oil Change Myth Busted

"Would you feed 25 bucks of your hard-earned money into a shredder? Would you drain a perfectly good tank of gasoline and replace it with new gas? Of course not. Yet, if you own a GM vehicle and change your oil every three months or 3,000 miles just because that little sticker on your windshield says so, you may be wasting your money."

"Thanks to GM’s Oil Life System – a simple yet amazing technology that I’ve had the privilege to work on – the three-month/3,000-oil change is a myth that belongs in the automotive scrap heap with leaded gasoline and carburetors. There are more than 31 million vehicles on the road today equipped with the GM Oil Life System, and more than 97 percent of GM vehicles sold today in the U.S. are equipped with this technology. If everyone who has OLS used it as intended, we’d save 100 million gallons of motor oil every year."
