[QUOTE="GC7, post: 3931411, member: 2455"] No way to know [I]exactly[/I] without doing a used oil analysis to understand what the oil's TBN (total base number) is after high time/low miles. But generally speaking, even if you put on low miles, as long as you are driving it long enough to burn off crankcase condensation with each drive then you are helping to prolong the service time between oil changes. Crankcase condensation increases acidifcation of the oil which depletes its protective properties. [/QUOTE]
