I’m going to stick with what the maker of the automobile says.

As a minimum interval, maybe. Consider they sell cars. If they last forever, they only sell to the new drivers and replace wrecked ones.

Well, I sold a 93 S10 that had 175000 miles on it, and it’s going strong still. As is the 95 K1500 Z71 (that sat for 2 years) with 165000 miles.

I drive about 2500 a month, for work and whatever playtime I get. My brand new 06 GMC Canyon (bought July 07) had 70000 in May of this year when it got squished by a dump truck. Get the 100000 mile warranty, and follow the manual, you’ll be fine for at least that many miles.

As far as oil life, both the GMCF and the Ford have sensors to check the oil, and tell the driver when it’ss time to change.

What bothedrr(s me is why have the computer readout say ‘Driver door is ajar’ when it’s the same letters to say ‘Driver door is open’.

It’s a door - it’s not ajar.

And, if the makers built a car that would last forever, they’d still sell cars.

Human nature takes over after 5 to 10 years, and wants the new shiny car with all the cool features.
