Are you ignoring the Oil Life display on the DIC? You'd have to be. That being the case, change it whenever you're comfortable with it. Nothing anyone says here would really matter..... I change mine when the DIC recommends it.

My cousin didn't bother with oil changes and the engine failed at 35K miles.

It is your car, saved a couple of bucks in the last 50K miles you did.

No man, I bet you can get at least 100,000 Miles rather than 60,000. go for it!

I remember that other thread. That's why I said what I said. Either it is BS or he really leaves his oil in the vehicle for that long. Either way, why would our opinions matter?
