Hsu fully expects the trend of automakers requiring 0W-20 oil to continue in the quest for better fuel economy. Here’s the good news: Traditional 3,000-mile oil change recommendations are being phased out for 5,000-mile or more frequencies. Our BRZ didn’t recommend an oil change for 7.5 months or 7,500 miles, whichever comes first.

Oil changes may be more expensive with the required 0W-20 weight oil compared to conventional oil, but only having to service the car once or twice a year keeps annual costs to nearly a wash.
