how often to change ATI oil?

Thinkin about getting one and I am trying to weigh every option before I make a choice. The Holley Thunder is out because they recommend 7500 mike oil changes and you have to take it off to do it because there isn't a drain plug So, what about the ATI or any others you know of for sure. What does the oil cost? Thanks

Every 6,000 miles for the ATI.

The ATI also has to be removed to make it simple. But, it's not that hard at all. I removed it, drained the oil, and put it back on in an hour. I actually just got done doing my first 6000 mile change on it. I'm still kinda greasy from it, lol.

ATI recommends every 6,000 miles but I do mine at about 5,000. I have 20,000 mile on my ATI.

I can change the oil without removing mine.

I pull the head unit to change the oil. It gives me a chance to check the intake tubes and I haven't figured out a way to catch the oil as it drains out. It's a litttle cleaner just to pull it off. I also like to keep an eye on the belt and this allows me to see every inch of it and check for splits and cracks. Your choice though. To pull it and change the oil takes less than a half hour.
