Why doesn't he change it every 100 miles? I heard also that if you change
your tires every 1000miles, you will get better grip.

Why are people overdoing the maintenance on their cars? In the US, it's
3000miles and for some reason, here in Canada, it's 3000 kms to change oil??
My book says every 5,000miles/7,500kms when in extreme conditions. Will the
extra 2000miles make such a difference in saving your engine's life?

Garages want to make money and are lying to their customers about the 3K
mark.
