A lot of people believe in scavenging all the oil out of the system. To me, it just ain't that big a deal because I run fully synthetic and change the fluids every 3,000 miles. Personally, I don't believe it is a big deal even when you are switching from conventional oil to fully synthetic. Until Mobil 1 came out, all we ever ran was conventional and nothing cratered.
However, you should do what you feel comfortable doing.
Synthetic i will switch to @ 5000 miles . Was going to do fluids today. To much computer work, That is what i do. Computers . A real pain sometimes too .

Perfectly said. Through my years I've seen and or had lots of motor problems, butI don't think anyof them were because of viscosity breakdown. I switched to synthetic at 1k miles, and will change at 5k intervals,doing all three holes. Too often for tranny and primary?
It might be, but I doubt it.
Remember good clean oil is THE Numero Uno way to ensure moving/meshing metal parts keep moving without ripping hell out of each other.
If anyone thinks your parinoid, just tell them your not, your **** because you think thatanything you spend that much money on should be helped to last as long as possible.
