PS I have a fair amount of highway miles, hence 5K OCI.

Highway miles with long drives are actually easier on the oil then short city drives.

Agree. I find it interesting about many posts with 3K OCIs, with full synthetic oil.

Agree. I find it interesting about many posts with 3K OCIs, with full synthetic oil.

And in most of those cases they could easily go to 5k

Unless you have to worry about rust….it’s going to run forever!

We are trying to drag those people into the 21st century...

Jeep Compass?

If so that gives me hope. My 2019 Compass is approaching 150,000 miles.

223,000 miles on my dads 2006 Honda Accord. My cousin originally bought it brand new and we took over ownership inn2009…

The first few years we only used Honda Oil and Honda Filters… I would say around 2013-2014 we used Castrol Magnatec for a few years and then the last couple of years we used Kirkland Oil.

3k OCI when we were on the Honda Oil (it was a synthetic blend I think) and then we switched closed to 5k after we switched to full synthetic.

There are some people who we will never convince, even with all of the oil analysis reports on here. It’s cheap insurance they say

I stopped doing 3k oil changes more than 20 years ago and I once calculated that since then I have saved $3000+ on oil. And I do my own oil changes, so for people who pay fast lube prices that do 3k have the potential to save even more money than I have.

And I have never had an engine wear out or fail on me either, nor have I ever had an engine that burned a ton of oil. So clearly I would have not gotten any benefits whatsoever from 3k oil changes. I follow the oil life monitors in my cars which works out to about 7k intervals in my Corvette and 9-10k intervals in my Civic.

That's right. Had some rust on quarter panel. Stopped it but ongoing fight

 

[Mackelroy]

I'm posting this in this section instead of the General section because it definitely has a lot to do with lubrication.

I just wanted to see how many people here have over 150,000 miles on their original engines, to see what kind of oil you've been using and what kind of intervals.

We talk about a lot of different oils on here, and critique a lot of used oil analysis, but the absolute best way to find out if any particular routine works, is to look at those people who have had success with it by getting long life from their engine! That is truly what we are all trying to achieve here.

So if you've owned your car since new (or at least know the exact prior history of it from new), please step in and give us your input!

I think this could be a very interesting topic!

2 vehicles, toy rav 4 214,000 miles mainly on group 3 conventional oil.

chevy colorado 170,000 mainly conventional group 3, although using supertech syn, last change or 2.

Those vehicles came from a differnt era, than the crap produced today.

 

[Mackelroy]

One more thing.....looking at these posts makes you wonder if synthetic oil is really needed in many of our vehicles. Maybe the synthetic makers are hyping and scaring people to sell the more expensive stuff?

100% just go to walmart, hard to find something without the word synthetic on it.

Dont see them on the highways much anymore.
2003 Ford Focus. 175k miles. No leaks of any fluid, burns no oil.
Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w30 entire life. Runs like new. 5- speed manual

group 3 conventional oil

Group III conventional you say? Is this an error or you just trying to make a statement about group III base oil?

 

[fdcg27]

Well, the HAH is now at 133K, so it's getting there.
I typically change the oil at 15-20% remaining life by the OLM and have always used the recommended grade, 0W-20.
No consumption of any note, with no need to add any oil between drains.
It's been pretty much trouble free, so not bad for an era some consider to be over-complicated junk.
