I'm getting my oil changed today by a shop using Kendall GT-1 full synthetic and Mighty brand filters. How long should my OCI be on this combo? Tia
Getting an oil change with Kendall. How long?

And how do you drive the vehicle?
What use?
History (known issues)?
Without that any "recommendations" are not very useful IMO.
Get back to us with that info.

The use is about 50/50 highway/city. Nothing but commuting, no trailer. No issues at all.
What does the manual state?
Are you planning on using this oil for more than a OCI? If not I'd prob take it out to the max your mfg states (ie non severe) and hopefully be okay.
If you were more hwy then maybe a little more than max. But that would be with any oil. The 50% city would worry me without a used oil analysis to see how the oil/engine combo is doing with YOUR conditions.
Take care, Bill

Renegade,
What is your usual OCI interval before this oil change? As suggested a used oil analysis might help. I've actually extended my OCI from 5,000 KM up to 7,000 KM thanks to a lot of information and knowledge from fellow BITOG'ers.
I also used my oil filter (Bosch Distance plus) for two oil changes which will be around the 12,000 KM mark.
I would say in your case that 4500 to 5000 miles would be the minimum for your OCI.
Regards, JC.

I agree with JC1, I would think you could get 5k like nothing. Kendall GT-1 is a very good lube
