So how often do you have to change synthetic oil?
new wiper blade next couple days fix exhaust leak and change spark plugs
Supposedly not any different than conventional, BUT I know a little more about oil than most do. Apparently Driver knows more than most do too, unless he's puking cuz he likes it so much he drinks it.
I keep my motors clean, maintain them well since being low mileage motors and change my oil much less often than most do. When I use conventional oil and a good filter, I'll change it every 5,000 miles and if it's alot of highway driving, I'll even push it closer to 6,000. It it's hard miles like stop and go city driving, towing, or off roading in dirty environments, then I'd change it around 4,000.
If I use Full Synthetic and a Very Good Quality filter, I'll go up to 10,000. Usually between 8,000-10,000. And I don't use Synthetic Blends at all, unless it's as cheap as conventional oil and then I'd use it the same as Conventional and change it every 4,000 - 6,000 dependiing on the type of mileage. The reason being, all a manufactuer has to do to call their oil Semi Synthetic is add a teaspoon of Synthetic and then it can be called Blended and you pay for it.
I refuse to run synthetic oil. Ive seen to many engines fail to get lubricated with the ****.
Ill stick to my 10-40 Valvoline And a Fram Tough-Guard Filter.
