...I roll with M1 filter & full synthetic (M1-EP or Castrol Syntec Titanium) every 3k miles.

Did two changes in the last 3k miles because I didn't like the dark color of the M1 on the stick.

What's the cost of additional oil changes vice the hassle of the cam chain service?

Or any other internals issue for that matter.

Anyway, "old school" is every 3k miles... like clockwork.

I changed at 1500, then 8300, and this time around I will be dropping down to a 5,000 mile per oil change interval.
