Recently i purchased a 12 year old vehicle with about 80k miles, the maintenance on it seems to be neglected due to not being driven a whole lot.
I’m putting on about 300 miles a day (work) and so I put in m1 syn (0w40) with their filter but was thinking perhaps go with cheaper filter and just change it every 2000 miles or so instead of 7-10k Miles.
Logic is obviously the car isn’t used in some crazy high performance environment so maybe i can sacrifice some filteration rate but if I’m catching things that were built up in the engine the high end would clog up quicker anyway so using cheap filter method to clean things out for a while might be better.
I was considering the same with actual oil by going conventional but changing filter is easy doing the whole drain far bigger hassle and mess.
