mobil 1 in a sunfire

[sunfire josh]

i have 103,000 miles on an 04 sunfire and have been running mobile 1 since 10,000. I have been changing it ever 4,000 miles but i was wondering if any one here could think of a reson that i could not go up to 7500 with the oil.

P.S. i do about 75% highway driving.

Thanks Josh

You should have no problem going 7500 miles (or more actually) between changes given your driving conditions. To be certain you might want to do a used oil analysis, mainly to see that there are no issues mechanically with the engine that would prohibit you from doing longer intervals.

I have a 96 sunfire with a couple of UOA's posted. the owner's manual for a 96 model year short trip was 3k oci. long trip 7500 miles. Both with dino oil. With full syn and 75% highway driving, mobil 1 will make it to 7500 oci. piece of cake

I go 10,000 mile oci's on my 2.4L Cavalier. 7.5k on yours would be more than adequate.

That's around 50K every year!.... do you live in that car?....

If that's EP you're using, you could probably go 10K.

Good grief Sunfire Josh. If work is closer to your soon-to-be wife, I'd probably re-locate closer so the drive won't be so long.

Of course I'm sure you enjoy the driving, but everynow and then I bet you get a bit tired of driving the whole time & just want to get from point A to point B in a matter of minutes. But yeah going that long with Mobil 1 should give you no problems.......hope your using a good filter!
