Agreed regular oil changes is the key, i also have OCD and do it every 6k  :lipsrsealed:

Quick question to save starting another thread, mine was done last May and I have done just under 3000 miles since, should I replace it again in May or would it be ok to leave it a little longer.

I am meticulous about service intervals and change my oil every 6 months or 5k miles which ever comes first. The inside of my engine was immaculate when I stripped it down - even the inside of the block was a nice healthy colour with no build up
