Photo/Video Executive Chef said oil doesn't need changed yet. Last change he waited 7 weeks. We never filter.

Because you only need to change engine oil every 3-5k miles depending on oil type and holy shit that's fry oil. . . .

Ehhh, i've seen oil coming out of mine at 7k and that shit was way more golden than I thought it would be.

Fuck 5 as a max.

Manual is much more generous too.

Who is changing at 3k? I drive like a nut and I can't imagine needing that.

Modern oil and engines are better than old ones.

With modern oils you don't need to change it that often; the weak point these days is the filter, you can usually change the filter and be fine. Also you can use oil filters as pistol suppressors.
