This is an ultra modern World engine !! Not an old Stove-bolt Chevy 6 . You could leave the oil in for 10,000 mile changes & your engine woudlnt know the difference. If your engine is rough & wont pull , get the electrics checked , because it sure wont be the oil!!!
 
OIL CHANGE 6 TIMES A YEAR????????I really dont Understand????? No wonder the USA uses OIL!! Take no notice of that Dashboard Indicator---its a built in $$$$ oil Bandit!!

A lot of modern engines here in Euroland specify fully Synthetic every 18.000-20.000 miles . ............

I'm going on to 12.000 mile changes once my warranty is up!! I have the same 2.4 engine as the Pat & Neither my Caliber, Patriot or Avenger has a oil change indicator fitted.
