G.M. Joins Environmental Agencies to Bust the 3,000 Mile Myth: State Focuses On Environmental Hazards of Used Motor Oil (CIWMB News Release, Jun 10, 2008)
SACRAMENTO--Today, the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB), the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA), and General Motors Corporation (GM) announced their partnership to educate Californians about the need to change their vehicles' oil based on manufacturers' guidelines and not automatically follow the long-standing 3,000 mile standard.
It is estimated that each driver in California drives approximately 15,000 miles per year. If your vehicle manufacturer recommends changing your oil at 5,000 miles instead of every 3,000 miles, drivers can reduce the amount of oil generated by seven or eight quarts and can keep used oil from entering the waste stream. The reduction in oil usage also equates to an average savings of $76 a year. (Posted Jun 12, 2008)
