Oil cooler, oil change

Daishi9000 · 02-15-2013, 12:35 PM

mobil 1 is just ok for regular driving.

One time i put royal purple on it, and i changed it about 4.5k miles, then i found out i was a quart short. dumb me did not check the oil thinking it would be fine. i was so wrong.
so now i just do oil changes more often, but my engine does not eat that much oil anymore.

i was told since the engine was breaking in (below 5k miles) it was eating a bit more oil. now at 35k miles, it doesn't eat that much anymore.

in the near future i'll probably try a better oil like motul or redline since i want to do some tracking, i just have to remember to check the oil more often.

i think the oil cooler will probably not make the oil last much longer than it does. that's why i get 6 quarts of mobil 1 at costco for 26$ haha.
