300 oil changes at $19.95 a pop is almost $6,000.00 in oil changes...

If he changed the oil as per manufacturer recommendations, he would have save over $2,000.00

But Nooooo, he fell right into the oil companies trap to change it every 3,000 miles or 3 months...
That scam has almost raked in as much cash as bottled water...

9 times out of 10 I'd be right there with ya on this one, but in this case.... It's hard to argue with success.

MEDFORD, Wis. (AP) — Frank Oresnik is on the verge of making history driving his old standby — the pickup he says is about to pass the 1 million mile mark.
Oresnik took the 1991 Chevrolet Silverado to the Oil Ex-Change Quick Lube in Medford on Thursday for what he expects will be its last oil change and tuneup before hitting the magic number.
He said the truck is 1,200 miles from a million, and once he hits the mark he will retire the vehicle.
"I feel almost like the longtime NFL player as he goes into his last training camp knowing this is the end," Oresnik said.
He credits proper maintenance and a good measure of luck for allowing the truck to rack up so many miles. He said he's had more than 300 oil changes and tuneups at the Medford business, going in every 3,000 miles. Man poised to put millionth mile on truck - USATODAY.com

Wow, this guy must do a lot of driving to have almost a million miles for a 1991 vehicle. I have two cars...a 2005 MINI that 26,840 miles and a 1990 Honda Civic which has 110,080 miles. His job must require lots of driving. lol

Love,
Madeline
