I use Mobil 5W-30 or 10W-30 .... Posted by REM in Seattle [Email] (#4) [Profile/Gallery] (more from REM in Seattle) on Wed, 3 Oct 2001 17:39:17 In Reply to: mobil 1....changes how often??, jayz, Wed, 3 Oct 2001 16:33:17 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
depending on time of year and availability. I change oil and filter every 5,000 miles. I use the Saab filter (or Mobil 1 filter or AC/Delco Ultragard Gold filter, again depending on availability). Several people have lab tested their used Mobil 1 oil (and other synthetic oils like Amsoil) and found the oil is still good to use at 10,000 or 15,000 miles. So far I have just stuck with 5,000 miles, as the filter is only good for about that long. Maybe if I did a lot of highway miles I would extend to 10,000 mile oil and filter changes, but most of my miles are city traffic.
As far as changing over to Mobil 1 at 75,000 miles, I would go for it. Just make your first couple Mobil 1 oil and filter changes at 1,000 or 2,000 miles, by then you should have flushed any sludge out of your engine.
