How many miles do you go between oil changes?

PatrickJohnson · 11-20-2009, 10:25 PM

I'll go anywhere from 5000 to 7500

R2D2 · 11-20-2009, 10:27 PM

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.

YAR1S · 11-21-2009, 02:23 AM

I change mine every 5k, this time its been 5.5.k though, filling her back up tomorrow! :D

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.

5K- that's what my manual calls for and I want to have warranty coverage.

Indianspringsaz · 11-21-2009, 08:50 AM

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

schleppy · 11-21-2009, 09:35 AM

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

mark schofield · 11-21-2009, 10:24 AM

Mobil 1 5/30 and a Toyota filter. Every 5000 miles on my Yaris, wife's Scion, and daughter's Echo.

vten · 11-21-2009, 11:34 AM

I bring my yaris to a valvoline shop.... valvoline syn 5/30 + valvoline filter , 5000 miles interval....$60 each time .

I can change it myself, but there's some cute chicks in the store that kept me coming back

Hershey · 11-21-2009, 12:01 PM

jamal1984 · 11-21-2009, 12:25 PM

POORSHA · 11-21-2009, 05:36 PM

15,000 amsoil, I have the oil analyzed 75,000 no problems

anonymous user · 11-21-2009, 07:32 PM

ON synthetic, anything less than 10k mi is a waste.
