Why not?
I wasn't comfortable running Mobil Super Synthetic because I like to follow my maintenance minder on my Civic, so my intervals are usually between 9 to 10,000 miles. I didn't feel like that oil is really meant to go quite that far, it's more of a 7500 mile oil I think, and winter puts a bit more of a beating on the oil so that's another reason I didn't want to continue further into the cold weather with it. For the past couple of years I've been getting oil changes done at fast lube places because I moved into an apartment, so that oil was put in by that fast lube (I wanted to get Edge EP like the previous change, but they started filling it before asking me what oil I wanted) But recently my father moved to the same town as me, and I can resume changing my own oil again there, as he's in a townhouse, and the weather was close to 50F on Saturday, which was possibly my one last opportunity to do an oil change there for a few months, hence the earlier oil change than normal.
