Because I have free oil changes for the life of the vehicle. Oil / Filter and labour included. If they were charging me for oil changes, I would definately be changing my own oil. More often than 8,000km too. I think 5,000km is better, especially for city driving


I got ahold of someone who looked into the whole thing for me. They are ordering in 0w-20 oil now. And will change (for free of course) the 5w stuff for the 0w stuff when it comes in. A bit surprising that I'm the first one to notice them not using 0-20, considering at least the 09's have been out for something like 6 months now? I'm not sure if earlier vehicles were recommending 0w as well, but at least the 09's are.
