Subject:Synthetic Oil

Good Day Everyone,

Kim and I have both changed employers recently, which has reduced our
commutes significantly.  As a result I have changed my Vanagon, Mercedes
300TE and Subaru to Mobil 1.  My habit has been to change oil every 3K
miles, and the Subaru was the first to reach 3K on the Mobil 1.  I
pulled the dipstick, and the oil is absolutely beautiful, clear and
gold.  In the interest of not wasting money or resources, I decided to
let it go awhile longer before changing it.  For those of you using
Mobil1 or other synthetic oil, how long are you running between oil
changes?

Please respond directly to me as well as to the list as I don't always
make it through all the digests every day.
