So what you are saying is that when you got the car it had 43,000 miles,,,,

And you only changed the oil ONCE in 57,000 miles ?

Oh and you changed the oil 2000 miles ago,,,,

I have a question for you,,,How did you know what type of oil to use then,,,,?

Tony - I have a mechanic, close to work, that has been changing my oil in my cars as well as big repairs for over 20 years,  During my recent mini-vacation I wanted to get a couple of quarts for emergency.  (I had the car checked for a slow oil leak a few months ago) - he reminded me yesterday that the oil grade is on the oil cover under the hood.  My daughter took her Toyota sports car years ago to a oil change ctr. however they did not put the bottom cap on right - engine blew up on Capital Beltway at 17,000 miles.
