What is it with the US and oil changes?
Here oil change intervals are usually 1 year or 10k miles (sometimes even 19k miles). And the engines here certainly have to endure more wear than the average engine in the US...
More wear? How so?
Well, more densly populated, hence more stop and go traffic, much higher speeds on the Autobahn(when there is no stop and go ), smaller country - shorter trips, and last but not least: engines here have a lot less power (average sold here is probably around 100hp maybe less) so the engines are always running at or close to maximum - on the Autobahn anyway)
