I go 6k miles on my 2020 passport (Mobil 1 syn. and Wix syn. oil filter). I also rotate my tires at the same time. Change intervals are debatable. The cost is negligible to me in exchange for knowing I have fresh oil and a filter on my rig. Further, I plan on keeping this vehicle for 10 to 12 more years so engine longevity without issues is very important to me. Besides, I would rather error on changing too soon vs. going too long. Peace of mind.
I have a 2012 Honda Accord EX-L 2.4L with 220,000 miles on it. I change my oil with 0W-20 full synthetic every 8,000 to 10,000 miles or usually when my oil light get to about 10 to 5%. I’ve had zero problems so far.
My old 8th gen, I changed it once the maintenance minder popped to zero. Never sooner. My logic, easy driving, quality oil, I'm well within safe margins. That car was fed mobil 1 most of its life. Valvetrain stayed bright aluminum. OCI's we're near 6800 miles.
8k miles is just fine. I did that the entire time I've had multiple cars and they have gone a great distance:
I use my 09 Fit as a courier vehicle. I've driven over 80,000 miles in 14 months. If I did oil changes every 5k miles, I'd be under the car every 3 weeks.
I just follow the maintenance minder, which works out to 10k miles, give or take, but I've done that over all the 175,000 miles I've put on it in 10 years. I use Castrol GTX high mileage, but I'm sure it doesn't make much difference. I've seen a lot of stuff saying Walmart Supertech is probably just as good,if not better than name brand oils.
I do my own valve adjustments, and the inside of the engine is nice and clean...
I drive my car pretty hard, so 5k is preferred for me.
I change mine every 5K.
Worth the piece of mind to me considering it a turbo engine.
I do mine every 5k. It maybe adds one extra oil change a year for me, if that.
I got my 2018 Sprinter and so have used the Pento HPII in that as well.
Before I boosted mine, I would do 5K all the time. Now it's close to 4k, anything over that and feels like shit driving it.
