is 5000 miles too long to wait for an oil change?

Motomaster Formula 1 conventional. Basically, a Shell conventional oil, privately-branded, with a slightly lesser additive-pack.


Next OCI will be actual Shell-branded 5w30.

o.k. . We're using SHELL 5w-30 conventional for now . Get it for $2.20 a quart . Dumped the SHELL 5w-30 synthetic for both to see if the leak stops for both with conventional . May go to a run of VALVOLINE 5w-30 dino . That's apparently a little thicker . Checked the 2010 earlier for the leak after being driven for over a 100 miles in 2 days and there was no oil . When drove the 2008 for 100+ miles in 1 day it was wet to the touch . Recleaned both . Will keep monitoring the two . Thanks .
