    Oil Change interval for an off-road vehicle?

    if it's full of gas and water, the oil level will rise. When that happens it should be obvious.

    Oil Change interval for an off-road vehicle?

    I'd go by fuel used. shouldn't be har to calculate how much fuel a normal used vehicle consumes per oci. when it has done that amount, change the oil.

    2020 Ford Ranger 2.3 EB 35,000 miles total; Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30 4,000 miles used oil analysis

    I find it hard to believe that a trace of fuel dilution drops the vicosity by 20% from new. Most likely the dilution is higher but there can and likely will be some mechanical shear aswell. But no harm so far.

    2023 BRZ (FA24); Redline 0W-40 vs Mobil 1 0W-40

    I said that because a lot of modified cars are actually well trashed rather than well sorted. But 1.1G is is not in the realm of impossible (also not at roundabouts if it's quiet on the road). I hope the owners are informed that they need to keep the oil above maximum, which I also do when I...
