For those who use Synthetic oil
How many miles do you go between oil changes?

I've gone 5 to 15k mi depending on vehicle, the oil and driving conditions. I recommend oil analysis-anything else is a guess. What works for some may not work for others due to engine and operational differences. If you stick to 5k or 6 month any syn (or non syn for that matter) should get you there.

4-4500 miles. Using Mobil 0-30w now in winter. Oil is dirty when changed but not black. Using Baldwin B33 filter, good stuff. I need this car to last, gonna own it for 200-300k, otherwise I would go longer and let any problems be that of a future owner. Also I drive the crap outta the car. 39k now in 20 months. Cheap insurance.

Check your air filter if your oil is 'dirty'. Oil analysis may show silicon etc..., indicating air fitration issues. I have to clean my MAF now and then. I'm using an AFE till I find the right size Amsoil filter. So far clean oil even so. The AFE is a good filter so far.

I run 5W-30 Amsoil and change it every 6 months. It might be around 10K miles by then.

I love momentum.

I'm going to change mine between 4-5k, depending on the severity of my driving (highway vs. city).
