oil changes again

I talked with the service manger at Acura of Memphis today. He said their new policy was to recommend oil changes at 7500 miles or 6 months only. He said earlier oil changes were unnecessary and benefited only the oil companies. You don't know who to believe on this issue???

IMO -- If the car does a TON of short runs (grocery runs) and 6-months comes along, it wouldn't hurt to change the oil.

(Well, off course they are selling oil...)

Amsol link to pdf file (Says to change their oil filter at 6-months. How many people really just change the filter and not the oil). IMO -- The Amsol stuff is good stuff.
