    SkyActiv 2.5 OCI

    Lifespan of Fram ultra

    Does it really last 20k miles? Is it vehicle dependent? If a quality full synthetic is used and changed every 5k miles, how frequently should the filter be changed if using a Fram ultra?

    2017 Altima extended oci

    I have a 2017 Altima 2.5. I'm looking to go as long as reasonably possible using an "off the shelf" synthetic oil (Mobil 1, Pennzoil, etc.). What is generally considered the longest you should on an oil change with these oils? 7.5k miles? 10k miles?

    I have 25K on my 07 fusion 3.0L. I am looking for an oil that I can change once a year or so. I would like to go at least 12K/1 year on an oil change. I drive a 50/50 mix of city and highway. The temperatures that I drive in range from 20-100 degree F. I am pretty easy on the car, especially...
