I know a typical oil change interval is 3000 mi. or 3 months whichever comes
first.  My question is; what about a car that has been driven 1000 mi. in
3 months and sits idle the rest of the time where the temperature usually
stays in the range of 50 to 75 degrees (my garage)?  Seems to me that the
time minimum doesn't really apply in this climate.  Anybody got any ideas?
