<VV> FW: How often do you change your oil? No Corvair

[DTerry8123 at aol.com]

What's funny about this is that when I enter my 2001 Olds Alero on the  
site, it tells me I should change the oil every 3000 miles. The Olds  has an 
oil life monitor and usually tells me to change oil every 6000 to  8000 miles 
in normal use.
