10k miles between oil change?
According to Yahoo auto 3000 miles is a thing of the past and no longer needed at 3k but un upwards of 5k-10k. Heres the link, anyone know anymore about this or the vailidty of it for Mitsu Lancers? Im not very knowledgeable but i get an oil change every 3k so this could save some $$.

When I order it via OilDoc, by the case, it ends up costing about the same per quart as Mobil 1. (~5.99) Plus, it holds up a lot longer.

Even with AMSOIL, on Turbo Charged vehicles, it is only recommended to the longest OEM Service Interval.
The Recommended change intervals by AMSOIL are for unmodified, daily drivers.
Any modifications, Especially air Filters, will shorten the life of the oil as will driving conditions.
It also depends on the oil used. AMSOIL has a Hydro-Cracked Product, XL-7500and then goes to the AMO 10W-40 which is a 15,000 change interval, then the ASL 5W-30 and ATM 10W-30 which are 25,000...
Again, for daily drivers....And the use of the AMSOIL EA Series Filter is required unless you are going to change filters at the OEM Change Interval.
In a Non-Turbo'd car such as the Ralliart, I would expect most of our oils to go the 10,000 interval with no problems. Any except the XL and European oils.
