Average OCI for those here?

[DCRamsey]

Despite multiple used oil analysis I've never stretched out my OCI's. I'm wondering what the average OCI for those here? 5,000 miles, more?

 

[tsmay51]

5k here. On the crv I change between 2k and 3k simply because that's about 1 year on oil. We don't put many miles on it.

 

[aquariuscsm]

I`m still a member of the 3/3000 club.

 

[Turk]

Yea, 5k. I just changed to SSO, so this one will be longer...

 

[demarpaint]

I was part of the 3000 mile club. I do 6 month OCI's on my Jeep to satisfy a warranty. I've done 1 year OCI's on a van, but have been using it more lately so I might go to 6 month OCI's on that as well. My Aerostar sees severe service so I was changing that oil every 3000 miles, but I might bump that up to 4000 mile OCIs.

 

[cheetahdriver]

10k or 5yrs, whichever comes first.

 

[My442]

Every 4 months on all the vechicles for oil/filter/lube.

Every 2 years for trans, coolant, etc.

I have been doing this since 1971, and have never had any wngine, transmission, or rear end failures or issues.

 

[refaller]

I follow my OLMs. Comes out to about 7,500 miles on both. The CRV's is much more rudimentary than the Ody, but when I changed the timing belt at 102,000 miles, the engine looked brand new under the valve cover.

[ZZman]

I go 5-6,000 miles.

 

[StevieC]

I do 6,000 miles (10,000 KM) right now but will be doubling it after my ARX treatment is over because of a used oil analysis I had done.

 

[Eddie]

Suburban driving with typical trips of 3-8 miles. Synthetic OCI = -8,000 miles. Dino pennzoil yellow at 4,000 miles. My OCI supported by used oil analysis and I could easly add 2,000 to each or 10K & 5 K, except I do it myself and enjoy doing it.

10000kms to 15000km on synthetic oil. 70000kms Mercon V transmission. 100000kms on cooling system Prestone longlife.

 

[ARB1977]

Six months or 7500 miles...usually im under 7500 miles when its time to change...this is in the Tacoma, the Jetta about every four months or 5000 miles.

 

[FrankN4]

3000 miles on oil and filter after initial 500. 25,000 miles on transmission fluid and filter after initial 5000. 25,000 or rear axle after initial 5000.

 

[Kestas]

I've started stretching from 3K to 4 - 4.5K, especially on my car with a 7-qt sump or if it includes an interstate trip.

 

[EricZoom]

Both my vehicles get a once a year OCI. Caddy is leased, and the Mazda only goes about 5k miles in that time.

 

[FZ1]

6 months which equals 3500-4000 miles per oci. Tow a small Bass Boat in Texas heat with my Honda Accord V6.

 

[redsox1975]

4000 miles on Motorcraft Synthetic blend.

 

[Johnny]

Every 5K while under warranty, then whenever the UOA from Dyson Analysis tells me to.
