Oil Changes...........when?
I drove my G for 800 miles with the factory oil running thru it's internals. Thinking of all that
stuff going thru it's system I couldn't stand it
another mile. It felt better when I add the
new Mobil 1 and K&N oil filter. I only go to the
stealership when I must......only once in the last
two years.

It's not like an oil change costs $100, so it's worth it.

SYNTEC can be used with confidence in every gasoline engine passenger car, new or old, regardless of oil previously used.
SYNTEC is fully compatible with all conventional and synthetic oils.

I just did a little research and it appears at one time, you could not go back to regular oil when using synthetic. This is because synthetic expanded seals in the engine where regular oil would then leak. These days, this isn't the case - you can use either at any time.
Like the others said, if you ever feel the need for an oil change just do it.
