I change my oil when it starts getting dark. so thats about every 1000-1500 miles, and i beat the living ---- out of my cars.. but when i tear my motors down they look BRAND NEW inside.

i'm guessing you were talking to me? The filter element can break down or get clogged, but modile1 is good for atleast 5k miles. I also read some test done on a RX-7 that showed the same thing.

HAHA yeah i kept being like WTF when i read through the thread why hasn't anyone noticed this.

Yeah I store my car all winter so i change it once right before i put it away, then in the spring i drive a few hundred miles with the old oil just to clean things out then i put in syntetic and that usualy gives me a complete summers worth of driving.

You shouldnt change the oil right before you put it up for the winter because your engine gets moisture in it over time and that mixes with your oil. If you drive your car on a daily basis then that moisture is burned off and you don't have to worry about it. So Id say to just change your oil at the start of when you take the car out. and maybe once more in between.
