But 4 years - come on Patrick - that doesn't sound like you! I was starting to feel guilty at about 20 months for mine.
If there is no fuel, antifreeze, or moisture in your oil then there is no purpose in changing it on a "time basis," only on a miles basis as it wears out. Now, mind you, I keep my car in a climate controlled garage in the house. So there is no more condensation on that car than there is on the television set. Cars parked outside are a different story. That distinction is rarely put forth in the literature.
