How often do you change oil?

Sounds about right! Don’t forget tire rotation!
My late dad bought a snowblower many years ago…it was a yellow one and I forget the make. That thing sat outside (under cover) for a good 30 years and I don’t think ANY maintenance was ever done on it. I always started right up on 2 pulls, did its job, then waited until it was needed again.
Nowadays, I use a general rule of once a year in the Spring for any outdoor equipment…my truck gets fresh oil and filter every 5000.

Tire rotation is not possible on my (rear wheel drive) primary car!
OEM front v/s rear tires are not the same physical size, and rears will chafe in turns if moved to front.

The man was explaining (at about the 5 min mark) about wear and friction in diesel engines. There is no detergent additives in diesel in the US, and why engines wear.
