I got my last oil sample back. I know, spending $35 to find out my oil can go longer when I can just change my oil for $35 is not saving any money, but I like getting the samples and knowing my oil is working and my engine is healthy. Also, it's a good way to keep an eye on my head gasket since 7th Gen Civic's like to blow their head gaskets.
Here they are, my last two samples. This one used Mobil 1 5W-20 and I went 9,694 miles on it. I think I am going to go for 12,000 miles this time.
I figured I'd post because less oil changes means using less oil...
Sorry the lines aren't straight. Formatting is a pain!
