Heard blackstone is telling some customers that modern synthetics ocis are primarily mileage limited rather then replace at set time interval. Any truth this generalization?
Sure, as long as you’re not short-tripping it. But there’s no issue leaving oil in the sump 2 or more years on a rarely-used car.Heard blackstone is telling some customers that modern synthetics ocis are primarily mileage limited rather then replace at set time interval.

Since they have 10s of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of sample reports where their customer's provided oil samples with how old it was, i'd say what they are saying is more valuable and intelligent vs antidotes.Heard blackstone is telling some customers that modern synthetics ocis are primarily mileage limited rather then replace at set time interval.

I'd agree with this.Sure, as long as you’re not short-tripping it. But there’s no issue leaving oil in the sump 2 or more years on a rarely-used car.
agreed but that gets lost in translation.Sure, as long as you’re not short-tripping it. But there’s no issue leaving oil in the sump 2 or more years on a rarely-used car.
I short trip a DI engine. IMO oil is toast due to fuel, engine starts protesting and clattering very loudly, so I change at 6 months - Sping and late Fall - which is a bit over 2k miles interval.Heard blackstone is telling some customers that modern synthetics ocis are primarily mileage limited rather then replace at set time interval.

It is in the sense being that historically drivers routinely put on more than 12k/mile a year and the typical interval is some figure under that. The time interval set by automakers is typically 1-year (ex, Lesser of 10k miles or 1yr). In a post-Covid world I suspect more oil changes are trending ever so slightly towards the 1-yr interval because people are putting less miles on their vehicles.Heard blackstone is telling some customers that modern synthetics ocis are primarily mileage limited rather then replace at set time interval.

So you "heard" that Blackstone is making an OCI recommendation based on the oil base stocks rather than being based on the UOA results?Heard blackstone is telling some customers that modern synthetics ocis are primarily mileage limited rather then replace at set time interval.

yup was reading the slickdeals amazon oils thread/measuring contest and someone made the claim. Its devolved into jeeps being trash last i checked.So you "heard" that Blackstone is making an OCI recommendation based on the oil base stocks rather than being based on the UOA results?
