Instead of listening to you, i would rather do my own oil analysis.
Man you really have to neglect a Honda V6 to wear out the engine that much
@DEBOSS GARAGE
What is your opinion if ……..
…you only put on 3,000miles / 5,000 kilometres in 11-12 months
Is it ok to wait until you hit that 3,000miles/5,000km to change the oil? or Should you be changing it every 6 months or something like that even if you don't have the mileage to warrant changing the oil?
My Nissan hasn’t gotten an oil change in 6000 miles but there’s still oil…
As a pro Tech I recommend 3k miles no matter what. Most vehicles have the service engine or oil change notification indicators based on miles not key cycles and usually notify you at 3k miles. I use synthetic Mobile 1 in everything and change it at 3k, cheap insurance. Also you need to use the manufacture recommended weight oil because with things like cam phasers and VCT engines etc… changing the viscosity will do nothing but cause you headaches. If you car specifies 0 – 20 you use 0 – 20 no matter how many miles are on the clock, gone are the days of using a heavier weight oil because of high mileages, just use specific high mileage blended oils if you have over 100k on it. And yes you can use synthetic oils in high mileage vehicles.
3-5k with conventional, 5-7k with synthetic. I use Walmart super tech filters which are made by wix.
Sorry but I have to be a smart-ass that's a engine not a motor.
I absolutely agree with you and service my cars every 5000 kms and transmissions every 10,000 kms.
Yeah right. Change the oil every 5000 km. With that logic i would need to change the oil every two weeks.
And thats why i dont use oil anymore Switched to water oil is for chumps lol
