Time to add a little footnote/clarification on this subject of oilchanges & service intervals.
I remember reading some 10 or more years ago, about an " oil monitoring " system being developed by some vehicle mfg's.
The reason............pressure from the global treehuggers foundation !
It was estimated, that we dispose of about 250 million gallons of used engine oil annually, for no good reason, i.e. oil being replaced long before it was considered " worn out ".
The FSS's used by many OEM's are a direct result of the sustained lobbying & pressure exerted by environmentalists.
Engine sludge, wear & lawsuits do not have any effect at all on their bicycles & electric cars.
