Default Re: Oil Changes

Questions like oil change intervals will always be subject to opinions UNTIL a simple oil analysis is performed for the particular vehicle you are interested in under your own driving conditions and style.

In my mind, there is no answer that is correct only some may be better or safer until an oil test is performed.

Take the oil to the approximate mileage interval the manufacturer suggested and then take an oil sample and send it off for analysis. Then change your oil because you are already close OR wait and see what the oil report says. You may be surprised.

I speak from experience on this and no longer lose sleep nor waste oil since doing this test yrs ago on my other cars.
