How Often Do You Change Your Oil?
 

I just switched to synthetic oil, but I'm having trouble finding out how much it lasts. I've heard it has to be changed every 5K miles, 10K miles, twice a year, or change the filter every 5K miles and the oil every 10K miles. I want to know for sure so that's why I'm asking here.:)

3 months for me. I rarely go 3000k miles in that time.

3000 miles or around 3 months, just like they recommend

I thought synthetic lasted longer. [&:]

That's the exact oil I'm using.

i go just about 3k with mobil 1 5w-20

RE: How Often Do You Change Your Oil?
 

mobil 1 is the best out there to go 5k on

5000mi, penzoil platinum 5w30/w mobil 1 filter, actually notcied the car was running smoother with this brand as opposed to the mobil i used previously (but it all probably comes out of the sam factory)
