I compare oil changes to poop changes. I think the Most should be – 3 to 5 K, even with full synthetic. I think DAILY bowel movements compare. Wouldn't want to hold in my poop for a week!
The Oil Change Interval from All Manufacturers is a "conspiracy" to get us to trade or replace vehicles more often than we would if we changed oil/filer MORE frequently.
But if it was a cummins under the same conditions you would open it up and find rainbows and a huge pot of gold. Because cummins
Agree with most of that, I do use the OEM oil monitor, but also monitor the km, and never go more than 10,000 km for moderate driving for a gasoline engine on full synthetic, but will ratchet that down if driving hard. Full synthetic from new, oil filter change with every oil change. For diesel engines I change more frequently due to concerns of additive depletion, carbon and sludge build up. Oil is cheap compared to the damage done trying to stretch it too far.
Oil is cheap. Just change it every 3-5k miles. Toyota says every 10k miles. I change my Toyota at 5k. That means I'll spend an extra $40.00 (diy) on the car for the year.
I do every 10,000 miles or if the computer goes off, whichever first. I use full synthetic with extended life filters. I also avoid idling and other harsh activities. Every so many oil changes send your oil out to get tested. If test comes back good, than you are good to go. If it comes back bad, increase frequency or change oil.
Honda sucks what ya expect! Lying Co. #truth #FordMotor
Thats why i change my oil and filter every 5k miles and
