Dealer oil changes are not Syn - some dealers will do syn changes though.

If you go synthetic they will suggest that you go double the milage so 7500 i guess if you dont care about your warranty you can get the high milage syn. and go 15000 miles.. but to me.. no matter what car.. that is awhole lot of miles...

I don't think 3750 miles is that bad. Regardless of manufacturer ratings, I normally change between 3000-3500 miles anyway. Just for my piece of mind....

do a blackstone report and you can tell how long you have left.

You drive a G!! Stop being so cheap!!! Just kidding, just kidding--couldn't resist and had to give the standard answer that some people give around here...

Anyway, 12-15K miles is about average, so you figure you'd change the oil 3-5 times in a year. So $120 to $150 for oil changes in a year (non-synth) isn't too bad IMO. Anyway, I'm curious to see what the dealer tells you....

Damn - I change between 2500 - 3000 - almost NEVER over 3000. I drive my car hard and it's built though...
