The Oil Change Interval Dissected

[tacojoel]

I use 0w-20 mobil 1 extended service in my tacoma. I saw the testing they did on the stuff. It got my vote.

How long does their oil filter guarantee to last!?

I'm not saying Mobil 1 is not good. I am saying that 20,000 mile oil change intervals are TOO long.

But do as you wish. Change.....don't change.....your ride, your engine, your $$$

Although, it seems silly to me to risk a $4000+ engine repair for the cost of an oil change or a few.

Oftentimes it ends up being someone else's ride engine $$$

I'm one of the odd owners. We keep vehicles that we like until the ride dies underneath us. Currently, have an '02 Chevy Trailblazer, '06 Tacoma and an '81 Honda CX500C.

I've done once a year 15-16k oil changes with them, or k&n's when I had my tundra. The actual oil drained still looked good enough to run in my mowers.

I still have that seized up 1976 Suzuki RE5 standing in the corner of my garage. Heaviest dam paperweight I ever stored.
