So i read this article today and it got me thinking, having a 2005 g35, i am wondering if i am doing any good changing oil every 3k miles. or should i increase the range to 4k-5k miles? I use mineral oil.
Here is another link by CA state that has taken this initiative. http://www.checkyournumber.org/
It shows 2005 g35's oil should be changed every 3750 miles. i wonder how correct it is.
Please advice. thank you

^ eh Chevron Lubricants, Id get the actual name of the oil they are using, most likly its Havoline though, I haven't heard of anyone on here using that oil heh.
But see what the oil analysis says, I sent one in a week ago, still waiting on it, I did 5k on Castrol Syntec

German Castrol is pretty different compared to Syntec 5/30, Syntec just changed to SN formula so its thicker, which is great. I just have one little issue with a result that came back which is specific to my engine, so trying to figure it out first, before I post

I don't see why i should buy one for $20, take it to a shop and get it done for another $10-15 and end up paying $40 when i can have all this and tire rotated for $25.
please throw some light on it.
thanks
