Just here for the "cheap insurance" comments.
TooSlick? I do.Anyone remember the Kublin method?
Combined with the 3,000 oci that was pushed by the oil change specialty shops.Most the reasons people give for their OCI are psychological.
There was a time I saw this site (for sure one of the sharpest staffers) encourage members to be more bold with OCIās ā¦ and empirical evidence has been presented showing that itās reasonable. Yet, overall it seems we have mainly moved to 5k-6k runs.
So what are the main reasons you like shorter OCIās ?
For sure ā¦ seem to have all of the above in my oil fleet ā¦ 2.3L ecoboost probably the most intense yet they show in the same OCI area code as the oil easy Pentastar (but Jeep dropped from 6 quarts to 5 quarts)I think this has to do with the introduction of GDTI type engines that absolutely wreck oil, CAFE standards, and 20/16/8wt oils. Then again, my oil change habits are based on my own driving habits and how I use the vehicles.
