| Mobil 1 Test
You guys have got to see this article. Though I am a purist, change oil every 5000k, it has me rethinking: Change filter at 4000 miles and oil at 8,000? http://neptune.spacebears.com/cars/stories/mobil1.html |

I remember reading that Mobil 1 article a couple of years ago, I think they ended up going something 18k before the oil started to break down and needed to be changed.
You should check out http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/ A lot of interesting info on there. It's not uncommon to see guys on there who run 10K/12K/15K intervals with a good synthetic oil.
Its been proven that the additives in true Synthetics like Mobil 1 kick in once the oil has some miles on it and protects /lubricates better than oil with less miles. |
