I figure I'm doing OK with my intervals as I've never had an issue with a vehicle that could be attributed to bad/low oil. No brag, just fact!
Very interesting subject though. Lots of opinions out there
I have a 2010 Honda CRV 2.4L outside of the shop that has a timing chain failure at 118K miles. It is clearly a lack of proper service that caused that chain to fail at this time.
Plus, your oil shouldn't be going anywhere, unless there's a leak, McKenzie says. If there's room to add more oil or your levels are low, you could have a larger issue like an oil leak. A car in good condition, however, only needs a routine oil change. If you're refilling any of your car's fluids every month, it's one of 14 signs your car is about to die.
Needing to add some oil from time to time is normal. Telling a vehicle owner that something like that means the car is about to die is a way to pressure them into buying another car.
People are very susceptible to the power of suggestion
