Manual states 10,000 miles or each year, whichever comes first. I did mine as per the manual and at over 130,000 miles it is still running strong.I am no oil expert.
So I ask what is the best criteria for an oil change-- Time, miles or both?
For example I like to change the oil yearly or every 3000 miles which ever comes first.
But synthetic may be more stable in the time line and or Miles. At $80+ an oil change I'd like to be able to stretch it, but not at the expense of the engine!
Any input on this? Thanks!
And I have Mobil 1 4T in my Touring at the moment.
