Agree on this. I recently learned the hard way you cannot assume even a car under warranty its whole life before you bought it, was maintained.

I'm more auto nerd than professional and motivated mostly by just not having an expensive repair. 10 years ago I just waited until the car said "oil life 10%", however now I just change all my cars at 5K. I don't care what the computer says; I can get Mobil 1 ESP at Walmart for $27 for 5 qt. In my opinion there is no better engine oil on earth, so why bother wait? Most filters are less than $10. I have a 2012 Enclave with the GM 3.6 that was notorious for timing chain stretch. Mine is at 180K and idles so smoothly you can't tell it's running; no engine flush, no oil treatments, nothing but 5K OCI for a decade. No problem.

OCI too long; pretty clearly stated. If you are putting Mobil 1/Pennzoil/Castrol/Motul etc. in there every time, maybe an average of 8150 miles between changes will be OK. If you are using Supertech or Kirkland or auto parts store house brand oil, you probably need to have that average at 5000 between oil changes.
