Well Mike, let me make a few suppositions. One, this being a newbie type question, I can assume you are a young man. Two, your worrying about a "friends" oil change would indicate the "friend" in question is of the opposite gender (and attractive
).
Be assured, for good advice, you have landed on absolutely best spot in cyberspace
This forum is composed of mostly elderly gents, with however, a great deal of experience in these matters
Some might accuse us of being some sort of oil nerds
but, we roll with the punches, accept the "slings and arrows of fortune" and despite everything. offer our sage advice at no charge whatsoever
If I were in your shoes, I would be pushing for 1,000 mile oil changes using Mobil 1 10W-30 given the severity of the driving conditions. Indeed, I would ask the lady in question to stop by for weekly checks.
As Madame de Lambert remarked to her son, "My friend, never permit yourself anything but follies which will give you a great deal of pleasure". Here on BOBISTHEOILGUY, this is the motto we live by.
