ENGINEER EXPLAINS HOW OFTEN TO CHANGE OIL & FILTER // UPDATED CRITERIA-BASED RECOMMENDATIONS!

[picklyrickly1073]

Actually there a few well respected individuals on here that are qualified and work in the oil industry who I trust more.

Is that because they are oil chemists or because they confirm what you believe?

@MolaKule sure seems pretty knowledgeable. Believe he custom blends oil too?

When people say this (anyone, not just "engineers"), to that I say change your oil every 1000 miles. Or even better, every 500 miles. By their logic, it has to be better for the engine, right ?

Good advise!

YT vids are for the uninformed.

BITOGer's should already know ...
there's no YT video that can do a job as well as a series of UOAs when it comes to determining your OCI.

Thank you!! Well said

There is a recent video of this guy with that Nissan engineer who said every 2k miles is when you should change it. Went from 3k to 2k in this latest video. Amazing how a guy that smart can be that dumb. Unreal.

There’s a whole, whole lot of that going on in this world….

Extremely intelligent people and yet so dumb at the same time.,.

I would only pay attention to the title if from either a chemical engineer that formulates motor oils, or a mechanical engineer that actually works in engine R&D. I'm an engineer and I work with many mechanical engineers but I don't think any of them know much in detail about motor oil. It's not something that most engineers need to understand at a deep level unless they work in this specific area of the industry. Even that Nissan engineer didn't design any of the engine, he's an assembly/manufacturing guy. We should probably listen to him on process improvement but not on motor oils.

Whose entertainment: his or ours?

Mostly his since these kind of folks want to show of the knowledge they acquired at the big university you know.

When people describe themselves as "doctor" you know it's time to put the boots on cause it's gonna get deep and stinky too!
