    Post up what Oil+Filter you're running and change interval. If you want to fight about what brand is better, start a new thread.

    Example of a good post

    I run Royal Purple with a K&N Filter. Have ran 5w-20 for the last 35k and am trying 5w-30 this time.

    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    I run Motorcraft Filter. I used to run R&P for the first 70K miles, but have switched to Mobil One Synthetic 5w-20 w/ 110K on the clock. I am also running Mobil One LS Synthetic 75w-90 in my diff. I have R&P in my trans and will always use R&P since that is what has been flushed w/ for the last 3 yrs.

    I normally change oil every 6K miles because I drive 2K+/mo. I'm sending my oil out to Blackstone when I get my trans flushed, and will post the report here.
