replace synthetic after 3 months

RE: replace synthetic after 3 months
I have been using Mobil 1 for years. I make complete change every 10-12K.With 150K+ miles at trade time, mpg is still the same when bought new. I would have no problem going 15K if had to from what I've read about synthetic test results. There is synthetic testing on the internet with test/rating results to give one more insite.

Remember that synthetic oil may technically "Last longer",But the filter capacity is the same,And it can only hold so much before it leans on the bypass valve too much and sends unfiltered oil throughout your motor more than at cold start ups.Just a thought.

This is good news. My car is three years old and has 12,500 original miles. I was changing the synthetic every 6 months. Now I'll change it once a year.

thanks guys for all the help mobil 1 isn't cheap so I'm glad I don't have to replace it every three months! I pretty much figured that to be true but it's just nice toget confirmation from everyone...
