I've had about a dozen brand new cars since 1998 and I have never had to put oil in any of them between changes. Although my friend warned me about a Subaru I bought a few years ago because his used oil a lot. I guess I didn't keep it long enough to find out.

You would think a modern engine would be more efficient in this regard?
