What should you do if you haven't changed your oil for longer than you should have?

>change the oil
Yes yes I mean if I'm at ~7k miles since last change and the oil is now well beyond its lifetime, is their a special oil or oil additive to help prevent any more damage being done to the engine? Should I just go as premium as possible with the oil? Should I change the oil fairly soon after I get this oil change? What should I be doing to help the poor little engine out?

7k isn't too bad if you don't have a turbo.
Just change it.

Read the owners manual, most new vehicles have oil change intervals in the 5000+ mile range. If you use synthetic oil the properties of the oil vary less with age than conventional motor oil, so if you were to change out the oil filter and then top off the filter you could theoretically double the manufacture recommended oil life in a non turbo vehicle.

Okay thanks.

Change your oil. Don't keep driving on it.

Modern cars usually have like 10000 miles intervalls, it can´t be that bad.

I´d change the oil ASAP and try to clean it out with kerosene.

any oil worth a damn can do 10k miles easily on a single change.
But like the others said, more often if you have a turbo.

like everybody else said, if you don't have a turbo don't worry. If you do have a turbo you might want to do a few 3k intervals.
