My GF and I live only about 6 miles from her office downtown. She drives her 2006 Matrix XR AWD (1zz-fe)with 119k miles, 6 miles each way on surface roads never going over about 40 mph mostly in stop and go traffic 5 days a week. The only other trips the car does is to run errands which are only about 1-2 mile trips and the engine may not even be fully at temp by the end of the trip. The car never sees highway driving.
Currently running Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage but only because it was free.
What do you recommend for an OCI and oil/filter for this car? Probably something shorter than if it was actually driven in mixed situations and highway? I would like to keep it on a 5w30 year round and will use the same oil in my MR2 to keep things easy. (My MR2 does 30 miles a day mixed 60/40 highway/surface roads
