mobil1 10w30 synthetic every 3-3.5k miles. FI'd.

mobil1 10w30 synthetic every 3.5-4.5k miles when i had N/A s2k

 

Around 5k and I am turbo charged. Mobile 10w-30 synthetic w/Mobil1 oil filter.

As above I sent in an Oil sample and came back golden at 6k, there is no reason to change it any sooner and give more money to the oil companies

 

I plan to change my oil every 7500 miles Mobil 1 10W-30 and PCX-004 Honda filter.

 

[QUOTE=z4k,Dec 7 2007, 04:15 PM] For those who think it is a waste to change so often... Come to Florida and sit in some Traffic.

 

How much is an oil analysis? For those of us that never had one done.

 

 

mobil 1 syn. 5w30
honda pcx filter

every 4-5k miles.


*krank case vents cut my oil consumption on my 01 to zero between changes

 

4k-5k mi (I could go much longer), There is some misconception about oil changes. I could go on and on about oil but I will keep it short. Under normal driving conditions some oils have been tested and show to still perform over 10k mi. Filtering oil is key to the life of oil. If you have dirty oil, your oil will not cool, clean and lubercate the engine as efficiently as clean oil. (Obvious, right?) Chances are if you have oil that is excessively dirty, you most likely have other problems that need to be addressed. I have done O.A.'s before with my old oil, (5K mi) and the results show minimal breakdown. I drive my car in a manner that would be somewhat abusive too.

I use OEM filter's and fill with Valvoline 10w30 full synthetic. I think I am going to change to Mobil 1's 10w30 full synthetic.

I think the 3months 3K miles is the oil company's way of getting more money out of the consumer.

 

About $20 - if you do it twice but end up doubling your oil change intervals, it will pay for itself almost immediately.

Saki is right. This same friggin post continues absurdio. Change your oil every 20 min if you want, it as pointless as changing it every 3k.
