What are these units? pounds per gallon? picograms per liter? meaningless without a reference.

And I like your statement...no oil change needed. So why do you continue to change it with few miles? Cause a book says you have to?

I change oil, or rather I let my 11 year old little girl do it, anywhere from 3 to 10K miles, Castrol 10W40. quarter million on a Isuzu, only 90K on the benz.
