[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 12087339, member: 11681"] [B]I can only make recommendations for Royal Purple. Drain interval recommendations or Royal Purple SAE, HPS or XPR oils in a mostly street use scenario:[/B] [B]Gas Engine Oil Drain Intervals:[/B] For engine oil in street driven passenger car/light truck gasoline engines that are mechanically sound, and stock or mildly modified, the interval is up to [B]12,000 miles or one year[/B], whichever comes first. Please see below for general details on oil change intervals: Depending on how many times time you have put a high-quality synthetic motor oil in your engine, we recommend you stay with the manufacturer's recommended interval for two oil and filter changes. This is generally 3,000 to 6,000 miles. If you have done this with another high quality synthetic motor oil, or if you have another car that has very low mileage (new or almost new car), the oil change interval can immediately be extended to 2x to 3x the recommended factory interval up to a very safe extended interval of up to 12,000 miles or 1 year. We recommend changing the engine oil filter during the extended oil interval using a high-quality filter. If the filter manufacturer gives mileage guidance, feel free to use that. Otherwise, if running the oil to 12,000 miles, change the filter and top off the oil level at 4,000 miles and 8,000 miles. If you run the oil for up to 10,000 miles, a single filter change at 5,000 miles will be sufficient. With the Royal Purple Extended Life Oil Filter you can go the full 12,000 miles with RP oil. (available at most Pep Boys stores and available through many online sellers) [B]The RP oil filter part #20-820 is what we recommend for 2003-2004 SVT Mustang Cobra 4.6L engines.[/B] If you put less than 6,000 miles a year on your vehicle, we recommend changing engine oil and filter once per year. Whenever you change the non RP oil filter, but not the oil, be sure to top off the oil level to make up for oil lost with the filter change. Check your fluid level occasionally because all engines will use some oil. The 'short' initial oil change interval is to ensure that your engine is relatively clean before going to the extended interval. Many conventional oils and lower quality 'synthetics' tend to form deposits inside engines, and in diesels, leave soot build-up. The natural detergent action of Royal Purple's superior quality base oils tend to clean these deposits and dirty up the oil quickly. After the first two normal length oil changes with Royal Purple, the bulk of the gunk should be gone. [/QUOTE]
