Owned. . Interval comes from the maintenance reminders and dealers. Not everyone accesses the internet to google this stuff.

If you're that close to work you don't put enough miles on to be concerned with a $90 oil change. That's a whopping $15 a month. Surely you have more important things to worry about.

Wal-Mart is the way to go on those 5 gallon jugs. Sometimes they are $10 cheaper than auto parts stores.

The place I get my oil changes allows me to bring my own. You can get a 5-quart jug of Mobil 1 at Walmart for $25.00. Try to find a place that will allow you to do this.

I have had 2 cars in 28 years, the last one died at 315,000 miles and I never use anything but Mobil 1.
