How long do you go before changing the oil?
I don't ever let the oil get thoroughly destroyed before changing it. I
typically aim at 3-5k depending on the vehicle. At that sort of interval,
the oil isn't of appreciably different viscosity or properties when I change
it, just dirty and rather depleted of the additive package.
Even on the motorcycles with their integral transmission the engines
wouldn't sound different after an oil change. Though on some the shifting
would be appreciably improved.
