Hey everyone, I have a question. I currently have about 9000 mostly highway miles on a fill of G-Oil Black Jug 5W30 (pictured below) with a PureOne filter on my Kia.
The oil has been in the car since the beginning of June. I have been commuting for a class that will end in December and I put about 150 miles per day, 4 days a week on the car during this commute, plus about 120-150 miles the rest of the week. I plan on doing a UOA (for science, of course), but not sure if it'd be valuable (other than for my personal benefit) anymore since the stuff is getting clearanced out. Anyways, change it now or change it out in December when class is finished? If I wait, it'll put approximately 3000 more miles on the car. My inkling is to go ahead and change it since I have seen other UOA's with less than stellar high-mileage runs on this oil, but highway miles are generally very easy on this oil as well. I haven't done a UOA in a long time (first and only is here). Car now has 113,000 miles on it. What say you?
