Mobil 1 0W-20 and extended drain

[Rick]

Would it be ok to do 20,000KM on this oil if the filter is changed every 5,000KM and toped off?

What kind of car, and driving?

Not enough info. Good oil but what does the analysis say at 10000Km?

 

[Rick]

Well there is a very good chance that I'm going to do a UOA. If I have enought time, because it's starting to get cold here and it feels like it's going to start snowing

I'm hoping to wait till november before I do the test.
It's a 90 sunbird 2.0L I drive it conservativly to some heavy here and there.

I wouldn't waste my time doing the 5000km oil filter changes, just go for the full 20,000km on the same oil filter and you'll be fine I'm sure.

Do not use this oil in your sunbird. Your sunbird requires a 30 wt oil. Only use 20wts in cars that recommend it. Why not just use mobil 1 0, 5, or 10w30?

You missed the other thread, where he lives in a place where it gets from -20 to -40 on cold starts. Considering the environment, the 20 weight is fine IMHO (ymmv...)

Even with NAPA silver filters? I can't change because I got a good deal on them and I also have 6 of them

 

[Rick]

So would I be ok with that, or should I still change the filter and top off just to freshen things up?
