Re: This is what happens when you do not change your oil
How long did that go before since the last change? I'm overdue on mine. I'm at about 5500 miles on this oil I believe (and it's not synthetic or anything). I usually don't let it go that long but I've been really busy and been driving a lot. I'll probably get about 150 more on it before I take it in on Friday. I'd do it myself but it is so dirty and such a pain (and hot outsidehere in SoCal) that I'd rather just pay the $30 for someone else to do it and get it washed (included in the price) at the same time.

The service manual for the vehicle says change it at 5000 mi intervals but I usually do 3000 or 3500.
