If you could, would you increase your car's oil changes to 10,000 mile intervals?

Europe already has extended oil change intervals, why not the US?If you could, would you increase your car's oil changes to 10,000 mile intervals?
Am already doing it at 15000, with filter every 5000, using Mobil Synthetic oil, ends up being less expensive, less hastle as not crawling around under car every 3000 miles, driving a 86 tercel, with over 100000 on it, use it in my motorcycle, garden tractor, snowblower......If you could, would you increase your car's oil changes to 10,000 mile intervals?
No way! If it would mean that I could get another 200,000 out of my engine by changing the oil every 3,000 miles, I'll pay for the oil, the Brit's can blow their 10,000 mile oil changes out their bonnets!





Update: You asked a question, I answered. If you didn't want other people's opinions, don't ask questions. Everyone on Yahoo is not going to agree with your point of view. Maybe you should be prepared for that next time.
yes, it's a pain to have it done so often
Depends on how you drive. Current GM cars have Oil Life Maintenance System that lets the computer determine when to change your oil based on each person's driving habits and conditions. I'm currently going from 7,000 to 8,000 miles between oil changes with my Chevy Cobalt.
modern conventional oils are good for at least 5000 mi. in a clean running engine. full synthetic oils easily go 15000 mi (personal experience). 3000 mi oil changes are just a waste of oil.
Of course. Ideally we would like to never have to change our fluids. But the proven facts are that oil change intervals are necessary. The type of driving, the vehicle and engine combination, and the service factors of the fluids themselves dictate the recommendations for how long a particular oil will provide the needed protection.
I've seen some people do studies on 3,000 3 month oil changes compared with extended drains...., sometimes wear was less with the extended drain!!!!, modern conventional oils can easily do 5,000 or 6 months in a mechanically sound engine (btw, not the sludge prone engines)





Alot more with syn......, most americans need to see the light...... that 3k 3 month oil change is a waste of money.....
My car actually tells me when to change the oil due to engine revolutions. I've gone to 7,500 miles before, but I decided to change it more often due to the fact that even though the oil is still good, the filter might not be.
I would change it to 20,000 miles. That way your oil is always relatively new and you never have to worry about your oil going bad if you can't make it to a place that changes oil. Not to mention your car will last longer if the oil is always new. I am not sure why Europe has extended oil intervals. It could be the engine's or it could be the oil.
