Re: Oil level check from the instrument panel
I think anyone who leaves their oil and filter unchanged for 7,000 miles is being foolish. I think3,000 miles is long enough, just because a car company brags about the service interval does not mean we have to believe them. I would not buy a high mileage car that had been treated this way.
Look at the oil on the dipstick that black stuff in the oil is not good for your engine, the more mileage on the oil the blacker it gets,it also collects other undesirable contaminants as well. I change my oil every 2,500 miles needed or not.
If you want to get an idea of how a members car has been treated read their posts.
