Some surprising comments...

Thinking you are saving money by not changing your oil is crazing IMO.

Oil picks up contaminants like acids and moisture, and the additives wear out. Worn oil may still feel slippery, but it's not doing it's full job inside the engine.

Regular oil changes with high quality synthetic oil is dirt cheap compared to repairing the damage that can be done by broken-down overused oil.
