Good god man! Change your oil I hope you mean 5,000 miles not 51,000 miles!! I work at an auto center and I had a lady come in that had 35,000 miles on her oil and air filter and tires (non rotated).... hour and a half later I got her running again! =D

Regular oil is recommended to be changed every 3,000 miles, but with all the hwy driving everyone does, it is suggested to change it out at 5,000 instead.
Synthetic oil can easily last 5,000 miles, most go about 10K miles, and now they have a synthetic that's supposed to last 15K miles. IF the oil it self would last that long, I'd still want to change the filter half way through.
My buddy didn't change his oil in his chebby for 22K miles, and I told him he was an idiot!
