I recommend checking your oil level at 3000 miles because some vehicles burn oil. BMW and Audi especially, at 1500~2000miles I will top off.
Pros: check oil level
Cons: vehicles burn oil
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 3000 km
I would do 10k intervals in my Honda Fit but a majority of my driving in that car was highway. I'd also need to add a quart after 7000 miles because of consumption.
Pros: long highway intervals
Cons: oil consumption
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mileage: 7000 km
I use Full Synthetic ( Pennzoil Platinum). At 24K I really can't even tell the engine is running when I come to a stop, its just that smooth and quiet.
Pros: engine smooth and quiet
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 38624 km
Mobil one..yes they make ac delco oil, but the additive package is a little better with m1 vs Delco.
Pros: better additive package
Mobil 1 hands down. There's better but not as consistent for the price.
Pros: consistent for the price
Cons: better options exist
I’ve been using Mobil 1 in all of my vehicles and other equipment for 20+ years, never had a problem with it at all.
Pros: no problems, long term use
1.3 million on Amsoil. Shell is a close second.
Pros: high mileage, long lasting
Mileage: 1300000 km
The 2.3 liter engine on a ford ranger takes 6.2 quarts as opposed to my corolla that took less than a gallon for the 1.8 liter engine.
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
Funny, I changed my oil today for the first time as well. Also 1700 miles. Not black but certainly a lot darker than the Mobil One 0w40 that replaced it..
Pros: darker than Mobil One
Cons: oil darker
Mileage: 1700 km
