I live in Palm Beach County FL, not far from "Moroso", technically it's not called that anymore but it's what I'll always call it. When they have test and tune nights at Moroso (which is the only way I'm going to get a real 1/4 mile time out of my cars because I will not put a rollcage in either of them. Plus, there not CRAZY fast, both of them run very low 11's, But these 2 cars I do about 65% of my driving in one of them and 5% in the other and 30% in my Truck. I race with the same configuration as I drive, I don't change wheels that have Slicks or even the DOT legal R compound Tires, In those 2 cars, I know it's excessive, Especially when using a High Quality Synthetic, but I change the oil(Mobil 1) every 2,500 miles in the expensive yet not hard to replace car, and in the car that I drive once a week most of the time I change it when I change the other cars oil. However in my Truck, which also uses Mobil 1,High Quality Synthetics last alot longer than buying the cheapest oil you see. I have no problem taking it to 6,000miles. I usually don't wait that long, but, if I did I wouldn't be worried.

One thing I can't understand is how turning off the accessories help the car last longer- when you start your car, it automatically shuts off these things, so why does it matter? Also, I know someone who waited until they were almost out of oil to change it. By some absolute miracle, they didn't lock their engine, but they said it was running terribly. I wasn't around to see this happen, or I would've probably sacrificed my evening changing their oil even though I hardly know the person. My car's brakes squeal every now and then, but the brakes are good. Not all noises like that mean problems. I always tell my dad not to shift before the car stops, but he never listens to me.
