mailing caustics and flammables is crazy expensive though.

Used engine oil is neither caustic (maybe carcinogenic) nor flammable (unless you have a ridiculous amount of unburned gas in it). Cost me $1.53 last time.

The Sentra I bought recently had regular oil changes before I bought it - and though it runs great, it leaks oil like a sieve at 102K miles.

well thats a mustang you get what you pay for...crap. id hate to see the oil when you empty it out...talk about watered down...gd

Red Line recommends oil changes for engines that are in good condition and do not see frequent starts without warm-ups or short-trips at between 10,000 and 18,000 miles for gasoline engines.

you should run a heavier oil...

Winter's coming and I take my car up to Tahoe frequently (and yes, conditions can get bad up there). Nevertheless, for my car, Honda actually recommends 5w-30 for all temperature levels. When warmed up, it should "supposedly" act like a 30 weight oil. I did learn a few months ago that having a smaller range is better and will probably start using 10w-30 in the summer.
