Time to stop wasting oil

Reducing my oil footprint has become of increasing importance to me as I’ve gotten older. One way that I’ve done that is to switch to long drain interval synthetics for all of my vehicles. Yes, I know that when compared to fuel use, engine oil makes up a relatively small percentage of oil consumption. But when you consider that 118 million oil changes are performed annually in the US alone (50-70% of which are probably unnecessary), the numbers start to add up.

I’m a little bit greener for having switched. What about you? Are you wasting oil?
