For Those Of U Using Synthetic Oil. How Many Miles Between Oil Changes?

[Hye]

7% have that much $ to burn to change synthetic every 1000-1500 miles?? crazy...

 

[HISSMAN]

Mobil 1 5winter30

Every 3,000 miles for no other reason then I get bored and need something to do.

 

[eddiemel30]

owners manual says every 5,000 m

 

[NyteByte]

I only change mine twice per year, or about every 6 months. I usually drive less than 5K per year.

 

[traktrbeam]

Mobil 1 / 3000 miles FoMoCo filter + Superplug magnetic oil pan plug.

 

[SnakeBit]

Amsoil 2000 30W0
Oil Filter every 3,000 and top off.
Oil Change every 12,000 6 1/2 qt total added.

 

[Got5onIt]

Mobil1 5w-30 every 5k miles.

 

[VENOMOUS 10TH]

At 3k and 6k I'll change oil filters(Ford FL-820S) and top off and at 9k I'll drain it all and fill with 6qts of Amsoil 5w-30 and new filter. My Cobra has over 16,000 miles.

I use amsoil 0w30 and change between 4000 and 5000 miles.I intended to change every 5000 + but after reading about all the silicone in the oil with K+N air filter, I backed off abit. I have had the oil analysed the last two times and it holds up very well at those intervals though silicone still looks high to me.I went 10000 miles in my civic with the same oil and the viscosity broke down so I don't believe amsoils or anyone else's claims for extreme intervals on full synthetic.I changed the civic at 6000 the last ime and oil was still good so will try for 7500 on next change and have it analysed again

 

[Tom's_03SVT]

at $55 an oil change. i go 3000 miles, anything less is a waste of $$$; considering its good for up to 5000 miles even with a lot of abuse.

 

[rmgtc01]

MM&FF did a good write up on it in the latest issue.

 

[Fordy]

You could spend a little time and do your own oil change and spend half that

 

[GA Terminator]

oil changes

mobile 1 5/30 + amsoil filter every 2000. i know i could go longer between changes, i guess i am particular.

I only change mine twice per year, or about every 6 months. I usually drive less than 5K per year.

Same here, 5w30 mobil 1.

 

[RocknRollCali87]

Every 3,000 miles with Mobil 1 5W30. I use the Mobil 1 filter as well...

Yeah how do those filters work out for you? Heard Bosch is pretty good...what is better?

Bosch or Mobil 1? heard not to buy Fram anymore cause they suck so I dont for our vehicles...just Bosch.

 

[GotGrunt]

To be honest with you, I always used a Motorcraft filter until this last oil change. I decided to give the M1 filter a try. So far, so good...

 

[Sonic 03 Cobra]

I figure Ford thinks their pseudo-synthetic 5-20 can go 5k miles between changes, so 5k miles with Mobile 1 5-30 should be fine. I use the motorcraft filter as well.

 

[nightstalker865]

3-5K depending on when I have time. Mobil 1 10w30 and mobil 1 filter.

 

[Woodsrat]

Well, I guess I'm the only one here who believes in Mobil 1 extended oil change intervals: Mobil 1 oil & Mobil 1 filter every 8000 miles.

 

[03yellow]

Its better to change your oil more often than extend oil changes with expensive oils.

Clean oil is better than expensive oil!
