premium gas is recommended for my car and many do not use premium when it is actually is recommended resulting in possible engine problems.

as far as oil i am aware you can go near 10,000 on mobil one oil per change, i know used oil analysis shows 3,000 is nothing for mobil one. I am anal about 3,000 mile intervals. just the way i have always done it and how my father did it too. i can get synthetic oil for 4$ a quart for castrol 5w-30 synthetic. guess what, my car needs 0w-40 which at my cost is 7.65. it costs me 38.71$ for piece of mind. worth it to me
