Do you have it backwards too?
From this forum, I have learned that frequent oil changes shorten engine life. Engine wear decreases as oil ages.
 \\;\\\\\\;
Yet, most on this forum still believe that changing oil often is protecting their engine.
 \\;\\\\\\;
Are you one of those that changes your oil more frequently than 5,000 miles?
 \\;\\\\\\;
No one needs to change synthetic more often than every 10,000 miles, but do you?
 \\;
The thread was called "changing my mind on changing oil"

I only change my oil once every ten years or so because I only ride 10 or 12 thousand miles a year. My bike should last forever.

I never heard this one before but I will say this....oil does not deteriorate. It becomes dirty and needs filtered, amounts become less because of leaks and burning off. But it does not deteriorate. You could actually never change your oil again, as long as you maintained a new filter and kept it full. One example is the engine rooms of U.S. ships, the oil is never changed unless there is some part failure and the oil becomes contaminated. They change filters and add as needed and those engines have millions of hours on them.
