I have a 2000 Mazda Protege ES. I am unemployed and currently adult college student so cost is an issue with me!
I HAVE my oil changed....don't do it myself as live in apartment with no place to do it.
having said all that... I change my oil and filter every 5k miles and rotate tires every other oil change or 1ok miles
Lately I've been wondering if it would be safe to change oil at 7.5k miles or even more? This is NOT synthetic oil..... just whatever house brand is at Walmart or local quick lube.
What do you do?
Also..... I went to local Autozone to get some wiper blade inserts for my Bosch wipers. Seems as if you cant just get "inserts" anymore and now have to buy the whole new "arm"! What gives with that?! Should I bite the bullet and just replace the arm or anywhere online to buy inserts?
And.... what's everyone's opinion of Duralast brand parts from Autozone? Such as Duralast wiper arms, etc?
