A survey conducted by the California
Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) reveals over
40 percent of Californians still change their oil at least every 3,000
miles. The agency’s “Check Your Number” campaign, launched in November,
is encouraging drivers to change oil less often by adhering to vehicle
manufacturer-recommended drain intervals.
“That’s the thrust of our
campaign,” said CalRecycle spokesman Mark Oldfield. “Get people to
rethink this long-held belief, because obviously there have been such
improvements in both the products and the automobiles themselves that
have led manufacturers in many cases to recommend longer intervals
between oil changes. For us the campaign is really about making
information available and allowing people to make the choice that’s
right for them.”
