Why are you doing 10 oil changes a year lol? Most people do ~2

IDK, I'm a fan of 'do it yourself at least once to understand what's involved', but I'm totally okay outsourcing it based on cost+time+risk otherwise.

I use the 25k mile synthetic oil. Changing your oil lets in dust and so I only do it when I must, no more often. Even if your use conventional oil, 3k miles is way too often with modern oils (the oil change companies love to say 3k miles as they make a lot of money)
