The absolute worst (but perhaps most often used) excuse for doing anything.
It sounds like you put quite a few miles on per year. The first thing you can do to save money is follow the manufacturer's recommended service interval of 5000 miles. In an 18k mile year, that's 3.6 oil changes vs 6, or a $48 savings/year if you have your mechanic do it.
It also sounds like you put enough miles on per year to benefit from the added protection and extended drain interval of Amsoil.
How many miles on your car?
