Short Stuff: How Often Do You Need To Change Your Oil?

# Summary

Josh and Chuck tackle the confusing world of oil changes, debunking the persistent myth that you need to change your oil every 3,000 miles—a recommendation that's been outdated for years but keeps getting pushed by quick-lube shops. They break down how modern oil-life indicator lights actually work, explain the difference between "normal" and "severe" driving conditions, and reveal why highway miles are actually better for your engine than stop-and-go city driving. Whether you should switch to synthetic oil, how often you really need to change it, and why that sticker on your windshield is basically worthless are all covered in this surprisingly practical episode.
