Since the 1950s, the popular calculation of how old a dog was âin human yearsâ has been that 1 dog year is the equivalent of 7 human ones. Even though this formula has been around for a surprisingly long time, the reality is not so cut-and-dried. That doesnât stop many people from defaulting to this traditional calculation.
Oil Changes. I have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata with 56,000 miles on it. The owners manual says to change the oil every 7500 miles. The place I take the car to for the oil change says every 3000 miles. Friends of mine say every 3000 miles because it is mainly driven in the city.
My Ram has 173K - all on dino oil changed every 5-6K miles. The oil change indicator on our 2010 Journey SXT will come on at 6K (actually about 5500) when we do a fair amount of highway driving. In every day use, it reminds us at about 2500 miles (gives you 500 miles warning). Mar 19, 2013.
