Oil change interval
Funny enough, my owner manual has a page to log maintenance and what not, but doesn't state the engine oil change interval, despite giving me the fancy details about piston clearances, etc.
Been doing them every 8k km since I bought the car 1-1/2 year ago, along with the filter. Is 10k km a stretch when the oil on the dip stick at 8k km isn't looking that bad ? Using brand name synthetic oil and the Napa Gold filter. Oh, and I've been running 5w20 since my previous oil change in January to see how the engine would do during the colder months we get here. It's been as good if not better than the 5w30 oil, but definitively haven't noticed anything bad. I'm about 600km short of hitting the 8k oil change interval, and we're in the heat of the summer. Again the engine runs just fine on the 5w20 despite the hot weather. |
