Most name brand oils will last far past ghe old recomended 3k interval. Engines have improved greatly.

personally
The oil may last longer before breaking down, but ........ do you want 3 to 5 times the amount of crud floating around in your engine for that long ?? Ill stick to every 3k thank you |

oils and engines have improved a lot, and with high end true synthetic oils you can get much more life out of your oil. personally I'm the paranoid type and I like to change my oil more often than i really have to. a few hundred dollars in oil and filters over the life of an engine is a lot easier than a couple thousand for a new engine in the case of my BMW.

Mobile One has always been touted as 15k. The ex wife's Porsche has recommended oil change interval of 15k. I told her to do them at 7.5k anyhow. It is a pure synthetic and doesn't break down as quickly as natural oils.

Its good. There is no reason to change full synthetic ever 3k. 10k miles is appropriate for 90% of drivers.

I have a 1989 Toyota 4WD with 200380 on it and I RARELY wait for 3K anymore.
If I have 2 or 3 deliveries (my deliveries average 300 miles round trip, sometimes 500 R/T) I'll change the oil even if I'm 1500 under 3K. No thanks. I'll stick to good 'ol Quaker State 10-30W and 10-40W. |
