I got ram1500 my wife jeep Cherokee l and just bought my daughter a Jetta all 3 say 10k on oil change,
of course I won't do that, with those nice oils today I am comfortable going up to 7k
I am thinking about using aThe Jetta for sure will be fine if using the correct oil.

Ravenol Motor Oil VMP 5W-30 Fully Synthetic of factory filled vw oil, but I am so new in to foreign cars I need to do some reading on this , I should start new treat on this and see what kind on knowalage we got on this oil here on the forum.
I'd want to see the oil pressure data before drawing that conclusion, I see around 32psi at hot idle with 0W-20 in my HEMI, we are talking REALLY low oil pressure for it not to be sufficient to properly run the squirters, and the pump should be sized appropriately for the spec'd oil so that this isn't a problem. If low oil pressure is a component here, then it's a design issue.This makes perfect sense... And is yet another good reason to RUN, not walk away from 0W-16 oil, and 10,000 mile oil changes in modern Toyota's. Especially in very hot, triple digit climates.
What years? The RAM and Jeep should both have OLM's and, in my experience, they never go close to 10,000 miles.I got ram1500 my wife jeep Cherokee l and just bought my daughter a Jetta all 3 say 10k on oil change,

From the limited number of Ram vehicles I have seen, they go off between 9-10K.What years? The RAM and Jeep should both have OLM's and, in my experience, they never go close to 10,000 miles.
True. It seems many people who buy cars cheap out on oil (as do dealers) and are incompetent at keeping up with their maintenance.In the video he says the engine started burning a quart every 1000 miles or so at something just over 100000, then was up to some ridiculous amount like 3qts per 1000 by 180000. Driving it with stuck rings for 60-80 thousand miles scored the cylinders, no oils could overcome that.
Toyota designs this overly complicated piston cooling squirter tha is oil temp and pressure dependent, clearly they think it’s critical, so you cannot just say it won’t matter. Guru dude says they are always plugged ( review patent and advise problem with this statement). No oil will survive over temp pistons with bad rings.
While I agree we may not (and will never) have the whole story… in order to blame the oil we have to ignore the rest of the engine.
There is absolutely no evidence that a different oil or thicker viscosity or more frequent changes would have changed anything
Given that it varies depending on driving conditions and you are in cali, I think that makes sense, lol.From the limited number of Ram vehicles I have seen, they go off between 9-10K.
Then there’s the angle that about any API SN, SP, SP plus ? oil etc is good enough to do the job…True. It seems many people who buy cars cheap out on oil (as do dealers) and are incompetent at keeping up with their maintenance.
For many situations, I am inclined to agree that it does sacrifice a bit of deposit control and safety margin. But there are some "overadditized" oils on the market today where 10K can be a very comfortable interval.I put 10,000 mile oil changes in the same category as brushing your teeth 3 times a week, or flushing the toilet after every other use. All 3 can be done, but you're not saving anywhere near what you think.
