I try and service my vehicles regularly too, nobody else gets to 'cept me. I do all my own servicing and repairs. What I mean by 'regular' servicing is that I change the oil whenever it starts to get dark enough to see on the dipstick level, which is typically every 13,000km (8,000 miles) or so. Amazingly, the engine still doesn't seem to use any oil between these extended change intervals except whatever seeps through the gaskets (mostly the oilpan). I credit the engine's reliability to the previous owner having performed regular oil changes and also me using 100% synthetic oil in the car since I bought it at 220,000 km. I use a mixture of 10W30 and 15W50 depending on the seasonal temperatures expected.
