What motor oil are you running?

[cabledog25]

Honestly I usually trust the Oil Change Required system because if I'm not mistaken it will come on earlier or later depending on how your driving? it ends up being about every 3,000

Idk havnt really noticed that, and what oil filter do you run? ive always ran fram but ive been thinking about the K&N Performance one?

I only changed the air filter so far so the stock oil filter is still in there. I am thinking of changing it to K&N when Matt and I do my 30k. Mine only has 21k on it so the OEM stuff isnt too badly warrn just yet.

Haha dang last time i check mine it had about 63K and im betting when i get it back it will be 70K, My sister love showing it off LOL!

haha I bet!

I am curious to know how long others run between oil changes when running fully synthetic; I have heard you can space the mileage out more between changes when running fully synthetic but I could be wrong.

I run Amsoil OE line and change every 5k.

For anyone changing synthetic oil earlier than that, I'd recommend having an oil analysis run at your next change. You might be surprised and have plenty of life left in the oil. Hell I'm probably changing mine too often at 5k..... but at least I know I'm past the midpoint for oil life.

Glad to hear that lol I changed mine at 21k so I am thinking one at 26k and then when we do my 30k maybe ill do it again...

[Matt]

That'll work!
Rotate those tires every 5k too

I have free oil changes for life at the dealership and get their "full" synthetic change there, Im actually due for one this week. I only change every 5k anything less is over kill as Matt said. I only change my 240sx syn oil every 2-3k cause I was constantly at high rpms, rev limiter and side ways!! As far as oil filters, OEM is also what I stick to, my sister had my Jetta for 6 mths, changed it a gas station where they put some cheap filter on.. well it leaked so much it seeped inside the tranny and ruined my brand new Sachs clutch pack. OEM filters only for me

Cant really beat free oil changes lol
