What motor oil are you running?

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.

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.
