[QUOTE="evasive, post: 10291332, member: 75020"] They shouldn't be that concerned. They should drain their oil at about 3K, send in an oil analysis and read the results. Then they can change it accordingly as[B] their[/B] results will tell them about how long the oil should last based on [B]their[/B] own personal car, driving habits, and location in the US. All of these threads should be taken as a general guideline. Each car is different (mods, etc), used for different things (cruising, 1/4 mile pulls, track days) to rely on them as much as it sounds like your friends are. One sample from one person is not exactly a strong sample size nor is the opinion of a few something you should take as gods word. Run your own analysis and see what results you get. To rely too much on one UOA, esp not knowing anything about the car/how it is driving, is incorrect. Often times people takes things out of context and then react. They confuse "I want the best oil" with "I want what is sufficient". Personally, I like running the best performing oil and will make an informed decision utilizing the results posted here to a degree. Same deal with the heat exchanger...people confuse best with what will work for them. I'm switching mine out based on a specific modification plan...I know the limits of the AFCO non-fan and will need the fan. Unless they know the H/E they have is not sufficient for their needs, it sounds like they are throwing money away. Unless they want the best unit just to have it...then switching it out is what they should do. So, the sky isn't falling...they should not freak out...just send in their own oil sample and make an informed decision for their specific car. [/QUOTE]
