This big shot from Nissan says to do 2000 mile oil changes.otherwise extreme damage is being done. Thoughts?
That's my takeaway on this video.Maybe he's referring to the GTR engine
Big cam or small cam?Sounds like he has interest in oil companies.
When I was at 855 Cummins engine school our instructor said he used nothing but Mobil1 and changed it at 3k miles. I asked him if I could have his used oil.
to only change your oil every 4 daytona 500's? possiblyridiculous
This was in the 90's so big cam. Small cam was very old technology. You know "Big Cam" only referred to the cam bearing size.Big cam or small cam?
Lol I do mine every 8-10k and my car still works fine. There is no one right answer!So whats the concesus? Change oil 1000 miles? Or 3000?
Here is harsh Alaska, my cheap commuter Equinox, with a direct-injected 2.4L I4, begins to readily burn oil around 2500 miles usage. That's somewhere between 65% and 50% on the SUV's OLM.
I change before it reaches 50% anymore, depending on how fast I'm able to do the work myself. In severe conditions, I've got 165K miles on mine thus far. The oil-burner is still going strong.
My old port-injected Silverado can go much longer, though I usually change it around 4K miles. Glacial silt (rock dust) is a problem around here; best to change it on a severe schedule or better.
