I've heard people state this before, but that's not my experience.
Early in the cars life, I was alarmed to see such a high oil life remaining given the miles used (90% city). After getting my mind around that, I decided to ignore the MM, and just change at 5000 miles. More recently, I've gone to 6 month intervals, because of fuel dilution. Interestingly, Honda doesn't detail a severe duty scheme, other than they mention "if driving in the mountains" scheme, which is severe duty. No mention of city driving all the time, like I do.
For the next change, I'll pay better attention to the MM and report back my findings.
I was taught the old way of changing oil and filter every 3k miles as regular routine maintenance and i know oil has changed a lot over the years
Even though i run Mobil 1 Full synthetic in all my cars now i still have a hard time going over the 3k miles without doing an oil change
I would never consider going 7500 10000 miles ever and i know some people say that's fine to do but I'm not willing to take the risk
What are thoughts about 5K mile oil change intervals I run full synthetic Mobil 1 in the engines and usually run stock filters
Mopar in dodge, Mobis in hyundai, and i use...
