The other day I noticed that the Ford dealer actually used 5000 miles for the next oil change (on the windshield sticker), rather than the 3000 miles they've been using for the past 40 years. It's a glorious day in automotive history! :-)

I decided to look it up on Google and found a nice article about it.

Stop Changing Your Oil! - Edmunds.com

If a Ford dealer is willing to change the interval on the sticker, I wonder how long it will be before the quick-change oil shops do the same. Regardless, it's the best news I've heard in a long time.
