Yes, it is an outdated philosophy and a huge waste of precious resources!

I honestly wish such beliefs that frequent oil changes are a necessity, which is a leftover from the 1970s, would simply go away. You are not doing anyone a favor by throwing away perfectly good oil, and even if you recycle it you are still not getting the maximum use out of it!

If you are that concerned, send off a sample of your used oil for analysis. I am betting you will find that it is in a lot better shape than you imagine.
