Good for you.
Considering what a hard time you gave me trying to reccomend something
someone should do to prolong the life of his car, and pointing out over
and over "But the manual doesn't say that!!" I think you should have a
good look at the manual yourself. The 7,500 mile oil change
reccomendation is for 'average' driving. I'm sure if you look they'll
have another, tighter regulation for 'severe' driving. Which means you
should be following the 'average' reccomendation.
Like I said, cheap insurance.
