What is more important 3,000 miles or 3 months?
I rarely drive my marquis, the last oil change was DUE Feb 1st yet I only had 400 miles on the car as of today June 18th.
So that last oil change was in Dec 05 and was due for oil change Feb 06 or in 3,000 miles, of course being June and having only driven 400 miles on it since Dec of 05, I am starting to get freaked out about it.
Is the oil in there out dated due to age or am I still somewhat ok since its only been 400 miles.
I hate to go waste another $25-$30 for an oil change if I don't need it but I also don't want to screw something up if I let it go even longer (hope I haven't done any damage currently), I just don't drive it often enough I guess and was hoping for some input on this from some here who may know.
The oil was standard grade regular oil from jiffy lube (whatever they use) I think it is penzoil but don't quote me - but it is not synthetic.
