Anyone else notice Walmart says "Great for vehicles"? Thank goodness they mentioned that! I was going to use it in my aquarium.

Owner's manual says change oil and filter every 5,000 miles under normal conditions and every 3,000 under special (towing, commercial use, dusty roads, off-roading) conditions.

Its not usually the oil you have to worry about, its the filter that needs changed after 3k - 5k miles
