K&N and Mobile are basically the same. Looks like Mobil 1 filters better, but K&N flows better. I personally use Mobil 1 filters. If I'm going to fun my oil for 7,500 miles might as well keep it clean.

I may be old, but I don't get it.
tygr1 said:Even the full synthetics (I use AMSoil myself) will never see more than 5000 miles in my automobiles. 3000 if I have the time and inclination.
NEVER underestimate the oil and filter change for prolonging engine life. Even today!
Ok, Ok, so I have 2 keeper Mustangs...if not maybe I would trust the 7500 mile recommendation.
Nah, I'm just old fashioned. heheheh
MustangDanny said:Do yourself a favor. The next time you change your oil at 3000 miles, send in a sample to any local oil testing facility and compare the viscosity to brand new oil. Especially synthetics... you will see negligible breakdown unless you are running at 6,000rpm for like an hour straight. Normal driving conditions (even the occasional run up to redline on the freeway) does not "challenge" the abilities of synthetic oils to wistand viscosity breakdown. Changing synthetics more often then <5000 miles is a complete waste of $ and time [period]. The proof is in the puddin' (do the test and find out).

Nicks98Cobra said:Damn straight. Why push it to the limits with your oil? I use synthetic and still change it every 3k because its better safe than sorry. Plus I enjoy changing my oil.
