    You can leave oil in YOUR car as long as you want. I'll change mine   
   every 5000 miles. I generally drive my cars 'till they are 18 years   
   old and I've only had ONE in 40 years go to scrap with a dead engine.I   
   don't rebuild them either.   
      
   Buying insurance is insanity too - you have to loose to win - and life   
   insurance in particular - you have to DIE to win.   
      
   I'll be insane. If you want to call it that.   
      
   (by the way - I'm a mechanic and I've seen firsthand the results of   
   "extended drain".
