To oil change or not to oil change after 1yr/2.3k miles
Naturally I am talking about the Miata. I have all the stuff for the job and was planning on doing it this weekend. But is it overkill? Should I wait another year (or at least half a year)?
It's not hard and it's not a lot of money, just get the sense that ti is wasteful. |
I have this same debate pretty much every year with all of my cars.

Glad I am not alone. Normally I'd do it without thinking too much about it, but The Miata has 83k miles, the engine is pretty bullet-proof, and it is not a fancy, expensive car.

It's a Miata. I'd probably be comfortable with 24 months. :p

I usually do one in March/April before autocross season starts on the FR-S and one more if I'm trekking to Nebraska that year in late August. If I didn't autocross so much, I would maybe do it every 12-15 months with how few miles I put on the car.
I still stick to every 5-7k miles on the CR-Vs no matter the timeframe. |
