With 10K oil changes I ain't taking any chances!
With 10K oil changes I ain't taking any chances!
i have a honda accord with 375k miles and it gets changed every 10-11k. one thing i would have to mention though is that my model year had an issue with the piston rings not seating right or something, i have to add a quart every 1-2 weeks or so depending on my travel, which i look at as a good thing as i always have fresh oil in there. probably spend about $150-$200 a year in oil i guess.I don't care what Ford, BMW or anybody else for that matter, says, I ain't let'n my oil change go to 10k.

And using two fram oil filtersSo you are interval oil changing it way below 10k miles.

I knew a tired (not retired) plumber who ran his little Ram van that way. 10 years later, it’s still on the road with the next owners. The driveway must be well oiled.I didn't think my comment would be taken seriously.

How damn old are you?Things sure have changed since I was changing oil in the late 60s
So you're saying this should be your avatar?I started pumping gas at about 10 years old, I just turned 64

With the right oil in the right engine in the right driving conditions, 10k OCIs are no big deal. I did them in my 2014 F150 with its 3.7 running Pennzoil Platinum for my 100 mile a day highway commute with zero issues.I run my Taurus to 10K between changes. Doesn't burn a drop in between either.
6QTs of Mobil 1, I don't lose any sleep over it.
In a 302? Hell no, I wouldn't try it.
That would fit but I like mine, custom made by the boss.So you're saying this should be your avatar?
