    How about dirty oil in 1000 miles or less.

    Magnetic drain plug full of deposits in the same time period.

    And to be fair: it IS a waste of money.

    have your oil analyzed next time you're thinking of changing it.

    Note: that website said change my oil at 3000 miles.

    which is wrong.

    read your gm owners manual.

    its OLM or 6 months.

    Guess what, my OLM when driving 100% city, most of the time under 1 mile trips, hardly being warmed up, still suggests ~3000 mile oil changes.

    And thats assuming conventional oil.

    I run synthetic.

    I forgot your sole purpose on the intrawebs was to get a rise out of people.

    oh well.........................

    That isn't normal, you have problems.

    At 6K km's my oil is far from diesel-like black, and there are few fillings on the magnet.

    Granted, 3800's are not aluminum.
