10,000 mile between oil changes

Genosphere · 11-28-2017, 01:43 PM

So, what's the sort-of-kind-of verdict here?

Current daily driver w/ low spirited driving in cooler weather driving maybe 500 to 800 miles a week highway @70mph with temps of about 180 to 200 F*, until I get a new daily soon, with oil changes every 5k. Switched to synthetic last oil change. At 100,182 miles/161,227km.

I didn't read any of this thread, but the verdict for anyone trying to figure their change intervals should be to get oil analysis done a few times. Then you will know with far greater precision how long you can go with your choice of oil, driving habits, and conditions in your locale.

Blackstone got me for $38.00, but i asked for the works-including the TBN (which was 6.9)...been running it hard lately & approaching 90k, so i wanted to test it.
They said to try 5,000mi. on next one; as i normally change every 2500mi.
