Hello all,
Recently purchased a new to me car referenced in the title. 73k miles. I plan on running 5w30 synthetic oil in it with either a fram tough guard or ultra filter. The oci is stated at 5k, but that's on dino oil. I'm assuming I can get a longer oci than that but don't want to go so long between changes that I need to get a uoa to feel safe. I'm thinking about a 7500 mile oci probably eithee castrol gtx magnatec, quaker state full synthetic or supertech synthetic. I've got a some of each in my stash so it will probably depend on which oil I grab as to what goes in it each time. I'm just asking if anyone sees any flaw in my chosen oci. I want this car to last me for a while so I don't want to go crazy on the change interval but 5k seems awfully short on any off the shelf synthetic. All opinions welcome. Let me know what you think.
