I just recently switched over to fully synthetic and actually won a free oil change from amsoil on here. I also switched to 89 octane.

I have (2) free oil changes from my local dealership so I will probably use whatever fully synth. oil they have but after that I intend to keep using Amsoil 5w-20.

I want to do anything and everything to get this engine past 200k lol

Thanks and yea im trying to get every mile out of this engine i can. how often do you change your oil? i do about every 2500 to 2700 depending on how it looks, i do mostly city driving so its a little rougher on the engine than highway or country miles.

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

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.
