Amen Brother
just change it early like normal people. I do 5K miles on full synthetic and 3k miles on regular.
Synthetic can go up to 10k before you really have to change it. This is one of those things that us older crowd need to get over. When I was a kid back in the 80s oil tech was shit compared to the oils today. Oils today can take the beating and are designed for it. Back in the 80s hell yes you needed to do every 3000 miles because oil tech was not as good
I change every 2500. I have never had engine problems.my newest car is 22 years old and has 187000 miles on it.only the timing has been replaced on secduled mantance.i rotate tire when i change oil.got 85000 miles on my last set of tires.
Is it time or mileage when time to change the oil?
Stop and go driving short winter trips sooner yet.
I had water in oil from heat cycle condensation.
Everyone keep a lookout for it if you drive short trips in cold weather.
Ok. In 1990 The company I worked for bought a used, like new Chevy Silverado single cab 1500 truck with 80,000 miles. It was the new body 1988 with the 350. I drove the truck 2 yrs with no oil change. It now had 160,000 miles, give or take a few. I started to feel guilty and the dipstick was getting noticeably hard to pull out, so I pulled it in the garage to our mechanic. We put it up on the rack and pulled the plug and it strung from the oil pan to the catchcan on the floor. We finally filled crankcase with kerosene and let it run for 10mins. 3times and droned it. I drove for another two yrs changing the oil every 10 to 15,000 miles before I got a new truck. The truck now had over 250,000 miles and hardly burnt any oil between changes. I was now manager and passed the truck down to one of the guys in my department. Long story short, when we sold the truck for scrap in 2000 it still ran great with 320,000 miles but the body and interior was totally ragged out from all the yrs of service. The valve covers never came off the motor although the transmission was rebuilt twice. I know, I can’t believe it’s true either but it is.
You do a GREAT job with your channel .
