The traditional oil change has always been 3000 miles. I stick with that. Once the oil filter gets filled up, the spring bypasses and lets the metal shavings go through the system. Also you can get coolant in oil and oil dilution from fuel in your engine oil.
2012 ram 6.7 L 3500, I change oil every 10 - 12000 kilometres . Has 470000 kms on it so far and have no issues. Also work out of it in the winter so lots of idling.
I change mine around every 3000, with a fully synthetic, i use it mostly locally 2.5 5 cylinder turbo, i can smell petrol in the oil so i dont think im overdoing it as the cold starts and bore-washing isn’t doing the oil life any favours.
Please check the volume you are recording at. I wasn't able to clearly hear your msg. 2500-3000 mile oil changes have resulted in most engines lasting twice that of those with 5-10k mile changes over the past 45 years of my life experience.
I use the advanced mobile one it’s good for 20,000 miles. I’ve got a 2016 and I’ve only changed the oil 3 times
3months or 3000 is what i do even full synthedic 😊
Lotta keyboard heroes say every 75 miles. I’m not convinced.
The best is to change your oil every day. And twice on Sunday. After you get done driving for the day put in fresh oil and a good quality filter. On Sunday, change the oil right after church then go about your day and change the oil before bed. Motor should last forever.
Six thousand miles? The oil itself might last that long but the additives won't. Contamination of the oil is a problem too in all internal combustion engines. I change my oil every 3,000 miles.
I change my oil every evening before i go to bed.
Every 5k miles for my 25yr old Vauxhall which is on over 200k miles now and still runs great with no knocks or engine noise.
I use full synthetic 5W30 with Premium filter every 5k miles in everything i own.
An oil change is cheaper than an engine. I use the old school method of 3k or 3 months, whichever comes first. I get my oil changed every 3 months. March, June, September, and December. The first Saturday of every third month. I am rarely at 3k. But I, change it anyway. It is all about keeping the engine as clean and fresh as possible. Since my car is newer and still under warranty, I do keep it dealer maintained. The service tech even stated that many of the cleaning services that are in the manual are almost a waste for me. I still do them, of course. I also stay away from "cheap" gas. I have recently switched to ethanol free fuel and have seen a significant increase in mpg and a better running engine.
A true public service. God bless.
4000 miles for turbocharged engines and 5000 non turbos.
I do every 3k on my wrx. I will probably go to every 2k when it starts to see a bunch of e85 fuel.
I do my oil change every 5,000 miles and just recently my Toyota Camry 2009 2.4L engine completely died, what’s really sad is it only had 78K miles on the clock, there was a loud knocking noise coming from the engine, no engine light, no warning? I was shocked. A reconditioned engine is going to cost me 2k and labor probably 2k so the overall cost will be 4-5k for me out of no where. I don’t see any oil leaking under the car, so don’t know if there was a leak or not? But it feels like I had to change my oil at 2-3 thousand miles, crazy and very disappointing
I thought that year of Toyota burned oil like crazy and did not have an oil level light.
People can get so hung up on BRAND NAMES! There are no poor quality motor oils on the market! They ALL meet the API standards. The VISCOSITY is what comes into quastion....."Will Todays Thin Oils Stand Up Too The Heat?" Oil Change?..."KEEP YOUR OIL CLEAN!!" Check the Dip Stick, the oil looks to be getting dirty...CHANGE!!
2017 GMC YUKON XL here. NO AFM straight full time V8 144000 miles high end limo service all long distance highway miles Every 4500 miles religiously oil filter replaced Full synthetic MOBIL 1
I change my oil weekly after every grocery store run🤷🏽♂️
Wow good for you
I change my oil twice a day
😆😆💯
Ok, look. Ive heard all the old school folks, ive heard the modern generation, and ive heard everyone in between about the myths, trials, tribulations, debates, and blah blah blah. Ive been a mechanic for over 30 years and im gonna put this out there and its ALWAYS the same garbage. Whats the best oil? Whats the best filter? Whats the best interval? You wanna know the answer? Here it is and im gonna shock you! NONE OF THE ABOVE MATTER. Thats the answer. Why? It alwsy comes down to what you are willing to pay for. The best OEM motor oil for your vehicle is what it came with out of the factory. You soup it up, and all that changes.
EVs never need oil chages and have only 6 moving parts. No FMS, no VVT, no turbos just total reliability
Until it's time to do a batt change
Or in 30 years?
Stats show they are currently Less reliable than ICE cars .
I've worked on a lot of cars over many years and what you say is absolutely correct. Thanks!
I change mine at least two times a month! Because I drive a lot of miles like about 250 to 300 miles a week!🚗
Thats actually great for your oil and engine as well, no stop and go that beats up the drive train
Wellll....my ol uncle Rusty used to say, Hookers are cheap , Strippers are expensive. I use straight 69w oil 😉
Thank you. The more you know.
Once a year. Use full synthetic oil. Typically 3,000 miles driven a year on each car.
My pushmower is 11 years old. I've never changed the oil. It's fine
I change my oil every six months irrespective of mileage use cheaper oil and filter no problems after ten years toyota yaris ❤❤
I change my engine oil every 3000 miles, transmission fluid, engine coolant and brake fluid every 50k miles. Doing this means all of the cars I've owned the past 30 years have lasted for 300k-500k miles.
In high school, I bought an old Chevy S10 with the 2.2L 4 cylinder from an AMSOIL dealer. It had 370,000 miles on it when I got it. The truck was beat up but he swore how good it still ran and drove. I continued to run AMSOIL oil and filters for 15k mile intervals like he claimed. We pulled the valve cover off of it in auto class and it looked pretty clean. I sold it running 5 years later with 490k miles! That’s how I decided to be an AMSOIL dealer. The oil sold me.
3k PERIOD Anything longer is 💯 BS, this guy is wrong!
Oil starts to breakdown at 2k miles so 5k on normal aspirated engines and 3K on turbo engines would be the best practices and preventative maintenance.
Wouldn’t oil breakdown faster on turbocharged engines?
Know someone who bought a decent quality SUV last year. But they never had it serviced since they bought it. Now the engine is shot cause the timing chain jumped. Oil IS cheap, engines are expensive.
6,000-7,500 seems to be about where I’ll be at
Half
But keep a eye on oil levels
My engine oil was still clear with a green tint at 5000!love it
I use shaeffers supreme 9000.engine loves it
U use a good oil and under oil analysis can u extend ur oil change
Make a lot of sense .
Excellent video and explanation. Much appreciated.
Buy a well-built car, use high quality synthetic oil and change oil and filter every 3000 miles. The car will last 300,000. Change your transmission fluid at least every two years. More often if you drive long distances or use vehicle in a lot of city driving conditions.
3000 is absolutely insane man. You might as well just give your wallet to your dealer (or to the place where you buy your oil if you DIY). 7000 to 10000 is a good sweet spot, making people change at 3000 is literally a waste as in almost all cases. Any modern synthetic oil from a good brand will barely have any contaminants in it at 3000, unless we are talking about some insanely high performance applications where engines are on a constant high load (like sports cars on track or trucks pulling their highest load allowed). Regular road cars being driven normally? 7000 at the very least.
I have 2017 Hyundai Elantra SE, When I got the car, within the first year had a misfire, 2 year a misfire. So I changed Spark plugs and coils, it turned out, before I got it had a misfire because had1 wrong coil. Changed the spark plugs and coil around 40k miles. The year make and model is known to have misfire issues.
Every day if your wife is good with it 😂
Speak LOUDER!
Mike great video your explanation is bare bones and simple for some of the uninitiated in how automobiles function. I’d love to see more videos on your KZread channel!
this video passed absolutely no information.
guy, you need to get a microphone. cant hear a thing your saying.
Thanks!
