I run full synthetic oil and change every 5k. Had cars with hundreds of thousands of miles. Never had an issue

I used to change at 3,000 miles. Now I change at 5,000 and rotate tires at the same time. With this schedule, my mind is at ease and my van (297000+) is happy.

I spoke to a "road-side assist" mechanic last year. I asked him what sort of car he gets called out to the most. He said Land Rover. I asked him about Toyota's; he usually gets called out to them with non-mechanical stuff like flat tyres or owner misuse. -Australia

Scotty, you're gonna take off one of these days, the way you wave your arms around. Love your videos.

I have mine changed every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. It goes through a quart in about that time, just keep an eye on it and keep it full. 229,000 miles on an 07 GMC Envoy 4.2.

Okay, let me get this straight. A broke down Tesla is towed and left at a Tesla dealer after hours and stolen. So what your saying is the thief fixed the POS before the dealer could. LOL

if its hot and you need a fan, just talk to this man and his hands will work.

"Here's Why Changing Your Engine Oil After 5,000 Miles Will Destroy Your Car" Ok, where is it??

Standard Oil of Indiana created the first synthetic motor oil from natural gas in 1928. Standard Oil tried marketing it in 1929 and quit due to little interest and the stock market crash. The US military became their best customer for the synthetic oil as they tried it out in their various vehicles and aircraft. The vehicles, tanks and aircraft used in the North Africa Campaign used synthetic motor oil since it resisted thermal breakdown when subjected to high temperatures.

Full synthetic every 8 to 10 thousand miles. Been doing it for 7 years. Was brand new when I bought it still runs like it’s new at 130 thousand miles. Ford focus st

I'm 59yo. Every car we've ever had had the oil was changed every 8000 miles with Mobil 1 Synthetic. My wife drives about 20k miles a year and I do about 40k miles. We keep our cars for between 250k and 300k miles AND WAY over what most people keep their cars. Since 1981 we've had Dodge, Chrysler/Plymouth, Ford, Chevy, Honda and Toyota. NONE of our vehicles have EVER burned oil or had a engine oil related mechanical problem. One Our 96 Dodge Grand Caravans had the trany replaced at like 80kmi but our 2005 GC never had any problems in like 260k miles. We almost always buy new and always change the oil the first time at 500 miles and again at 4000. Then every 8000 miles. We will continue to do so! Current vehicles, 2024 Honda Pilot with 3k miles first oil change was at around 500mi, 2015 Toyota Highlander with 218k miles. Doesn't burn or leak a drop of oil! 2004 Ford Expedition, 5.8L 286k miles and always since day one burned a maybe a cup between oil changes. Dealer said it was normal for the 5.8L 🤔🙄 I'm not giving advice, just our experience. Your experience may be different!

I change my motor oil and filter every 3,000 miles. I don't pay a shop, do it myself in the driveway. Oil can be changed at a longer interval, but oil and filters are cheaper than engines.

Syn oil is chemically processed to catch same size molecules to create a smoother platform for the rings of your car. I used to sell and got training straight from Chevron. Syn is great oil. Worth the money.

I have a company do an oil analysis every time I change it. I usually do every 10k miles and they tell me, every time, that I can go even further, based on the oil breakdown rate. That's actual chemistry talking, so I change the oil every 10k miles or 1 year.

Toyota’s will be even harder to find after more people learn about the quality from Scotty’s videos.

Oil is cheap, engines are expensive.

Your description of what synthetic oil is, is completely wrong. Steam and acid have nothing to do with purification. Acid units called Alkalization units raise octane. Steam is used to strip light ends out of heavy hydrocarbons. Way oversimplification but not enough space here. You might look up the process of Hydrocracking and the real process of what makes synthetic oil. I watch your channel from time to time, but you would do good to research oil processes in general. There is a lot of wrong thinking about oil out there. A 31-year oil refinery worker here.

I change oil every 5k miles, been using Amsoil fluids for years- pretty much the best

FWIW, my 97 Corolla has 387K miles and is still in daily use. It runs fine and still looks good, too. I've always changed the oil at 5000 miles. I used dino oil until about 10 years ago, when I switched to synthetic. It worked well for me.

I put on about 12,000 miles a year. I’ve been using the Mobil 1 Full Synthetic every 5000 miles 👍

2011 Escape, changed oil every 5000 miles, full synthetic. It has over 365,000 miles. Only major repair has been the timing chain last year. Still driving it every day.

I put about 2,000 miles a year on my 1998 M-Roadster (S52), I went TWO years (4,000 miles) and had the oil tested, it was absolutely fine. Rotella 5w-40, T-6

I have run synthetic oil in my 2008 Ford Escape 3.0 liter V6 since I bought it new in 2008. I’m approaching 200K miles and it still runs like the day I drove it off the lot. Same for my wife’s Nissan Altima with a 2.5 liter 4 cylinder. I’ve run Mobil 1 in her car and it too runs awesome (yes it has a CVT). I will never run my cars on anything but synthetic oil. I also change the oil between 2500 and 3000 miles. Don’t skimp on your cars oil. You won’t regret it.

The number of miles depends on your driving habits. Do you make a lot of short trips , change the oil every 3 to 4k miles. If you make a lot of long trips , 40 miles away or more, change the oil every 7 to 8k on a non turbo engine. I got an Impala 2010 with 336,000 miles and the engine still running strong.

I drive about 20k miles a year, I just stick to changing oil with synthetic oil every 5k miles

MILLIONS and MILLIONS of cars STILL on the road, been going by the maintenance minder all along. We're in 2024, it's FINE!

In South Africa, where we have pretty high temperatures and our winter max temperatures are sometimes in the single figures, we do oil changes every 10 000km (6 300 miles) with turbo and high mileage cars and 15 000km (9 300 miles) for everything else, or once a year....oil changes 5 000 miles or 3-6 months is throwing money away. Marketplace Canada (on KZfaq) did a piece on how dealerships are pushing oil changes with customers when not needed to make more money for the dealership

Remember what Scotty says. Oil is cheap, engines are expensive.

i change my oil every 10k miles in my 2020 Corolla Hybrid when I learned that on full synthetic 0w-16 that's as often as it should need. Still works like clockwork at 60k miles.

Had a '81 F100 that I flooded every weekend for 30 years. 300,000 miles fishing all over Tennessee dropping the boat in water at launching ramps. 2 bearing failures that I fixed myself draining the dif, changing bearings, putting new gear oil in. Maybe 2 hour job.

We had a 2003 Mazda MPV that we got with 12k miles on it and I changed the oil every 10k and filter with mobil 1 full synthetic. It didn't burn oil and even at 150k it still didn't lose oil. Worked for me. My '15 VW Sportwagon is at 70k and has full synthetic change with Castrol Edge, every 10k with filter like the manual says and does not burn oil, still like new. 10k full synthetic works for me with a 10k oil filter. Cheers

Thanks for your review of the Mitsubishi Outlander. I bought one and couldn’t be happier. The only dealer is across the river from me in St Louis and had doubts about being that far from service. No problem! Have not had to return for service for anything. Just a great car. 2023 mid model.

Ive had four Skoda Octavia's. Variable servicing would tell me to change the oil at 18,000 miles. It would occasionally be over 22k before i got it in for a service. Never a problem and i was doing over 45 thousand a year. Id get a new car every three years. 4,000 miles is very low mileage for an oil change!

You are a special man doing such a kind service of teaching people like me how not to get ripped off I hope you know that you're really making a difference in this world,.

I bought my 1996 Pontiac Grand AM GT brand new, I changed the oil at 5,000 miles to full synthetic, I only use it, it is now 28 year's old and has over 256, 000 miles.

As a former Analytical Oil Chemist two things are important. 1. Fuel dilution and wear. Fuel dilution is the amount of non oil components, which includes gasoline, diesel, and water. Low mileage vehicles are more likely to suffer from this. This results in increased wear, and a low mileage vehicle can be as damaged as a car running many thousands of miles. This leads onto the second, acidic by products of combustion, a formulated oil is designed to absorb a certain amount of products before the oil's ability is exhausted. The difference between a mineral oil and a synthetic oil is its consistency to resist shear and the amount of acids in it. (Ryazan is the worst with up to 5 %!). A base oil as its known, the source can vary wildly, and so to change its resistance to shear, in other words gets thinner and less able to cover moving parts and so have to have an additive added to make them 'thicker' so needs a thickening agent (PAO). Synthetic oil is made with neither problems and can be used, therefore, in engines with tighter tolerances as there is much less wear. It can be designed to last longer in fast running and hot engines, though the issue of fuel dilution largely remains.

I have a 2005 Honda accord lx 2.4l with 206,000 miles. I'm currently changing my oil every 3k to 5k miles only because I haven't really driven it since September last year. I always use Mobile 1 high mileage full synthetic oil and filter.

I use Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic and I change my oil and filter every 3000 miles. I also drive my car like I stole it. 2001 Chevy camaro 6 speed manual trans. Over 130k miles. Still runs and looks brand new. Oil looks like golden honey when I go to change it. I also regularly changed my brake fluid my clutch fluid my engine coolant and the oil in my transmission and rear gears. I also regularly grease all of the zerk fittings on my car. If you expect your car to last forever then you have to change all of the fluids constantly and keep up on your maintenance

I’m in Europe, driving my CLS 5.0, i always changed my air, cabine and oil filter including the oil every 10,000KM. I do quite big mileage and i replace everything every 2/3 months, I use castrol 5w30 LL oil. Never had a problem with that.

I miss buying bulk oil from the corner gas station for a buck a gallon to keep pouring it in the top as it burns it out or drips out the bottom.

I bought a 2003 Corolla 5 speed manual new. Changed the oil at 500 miles and then went to do it again at 3K. The oil was so clean I just felt like it was a waste. I changed that car's oil between 4-5K with dino oil for the first 200K miles. Then Costco quit carrying the 5w30 conventional oil I'd used for years. So I went to Kirkland Full Synthetic for less than I was paying for the dino stuff. Early on this car saw Castrol, Shell, and Pennzoil. It now has 266K miles and still runs like new. I'm betting on a half million if we're still allowed to have cars 20 years from now.

I just changed my oil with full synthetic and I look what Scotty uploaded and had a laugh. Perfect timing. 👍

I typically try to change my oil every 4 months. 3 oil changes a year has worked for me and I have not had issues with longevity of my vehicles. An oil change 3 times a year certainly doesn't hurt.

This sort of thing has a lot of previous testing (of the oil). It does depend on both the oil you use and the engine you put it into. Bad piston rings will dirty your oil faster and good oil lasts a lot longer. Fleets will often test their oil and use the results as the imputes for changing the oil rather than "mileage", which is pretty much a meaningless metric at the end of the day. A rough estimate of hours or rotations. I personally change my Turbo Charged low oil consuming engine's oil with Mobile One extended Life and Filter, about $35 from Walmart, once a year or about 6k miles for me. I'd be comfortable doing it every 10k miles too. You don't have to believe me, pull a sample at 3k, 5k, and 10k miles and see for yourself. Have them tested. Always get the filter to match the oil too. I alwasy advise people to use a good synthetic, I would never use conventional motor oil knowing what I know now. Engines cost more than oil. A lot more...

I change oil once every 8k - 10k miles on my 2007 4cyl Nissan Frontier. 320,000mi on it now, but my throw out bearing on the clutch is now whining.

I use only high quality filters and change the oil every 5k miles. I have 188,000 miles on my jeep grand cherokee with 4.7 v-8 engine and it sounds great and runs great. Hard to even consider selling it.

Scotty , my name is Cullen king. I am a 26 year old Florida man. When I listen to you speak I know without a thread of doubt that you are telling me the truth. Whenever I repeat what you say to my elders they look at me sideways and dismiss what I might know because I'm young. My boss, told me he had a sealed automatic transmission haha with no vent caps. The work truck had transmission issues for a while and I said this. Garry you drove through deep water during the hurricane. You sucked water into your transmission. He didn't want to heat it. Now when he bought his new truck I told him about the turbo. You told all of us that with turbos that are engine cooled you should idle them after strenuous driving for 3-5 minutes. Low and behold. The funny dismissed your knowledge which was related through me (of course) until I showed him his own truck manual. Low and behold the manual said exactly what you said. Maybe because you know what you're talking about. Just saying. Thank you Scotty you have helped me more than you will ever know, and if I can ever repay you for all of your knowledge you have given to me. Please personally reach out to me I will help you every single way I can. Like I said I'm a 26 year old Floridian I work construction and I'm one of the few real men this country has made. So that being said if you ever need help with anything. Please do not hesitate to ask because I owe you Scotty Kimber

Don’t understand what’s different in the USA compared with UK and Europe. Here we only have to change oil every 10,000 miles or once a year whichever comes first. I’ve owned cars which have done over 250,000 miles and the engine still ran perfectly. Why is the oil change interval so different in the USA?

Just had oil analysis on Valvoline Synthetic 5w20 changed at 7000 miles. Everything good. Car holds 4.5 qts and requires no oil between changes. It checks full at 7000 miles but if you stretch to 7500 it measures 1/2 qt low. 7500 is manufacturers recommendation.

Good to see Trudope appear as a backdrop in one of Scotty's videos. When the shoe fits......

I have a 2000 Mustang GT Show Car that doesn't get driven much. I change my oil (Mobil1) every 5000 miles. I just changed it at 50,000 miles. When I logged in the notebook I keep on the car I realized the last oil change (45,000 miles) was 7 years ago! The car still runs like a top!!

I use pennzoil and use their 20k mile oil. My Honda has 240k miles and drives like new, changing the oil every 20k miles. Mechanics love to lie about the oil change interval because it makes them more money. Don’t forget.

Oil AND FILTER every 5,000 miles with synthetic oil.

I change oil once a year with synthetic oil since drive 3K or less a year, work from home. Still going great, Acura TSX 2004, 98,000 miles.

I only use synthetic oil (Mobile 1) and mobile 1 filters. For all the vehicles I have owned and they always last and never have engine problems. I have a daily that I had for 12 years 2010 Chrysler 300 and it has 150K miles and the engine still runs and sounds amazing. But I have always heard horror stories with Chrysler 300. But luckily taking care of it and using premium oil, seems to work wonders

Chevy made a huge mistake with the Blazer.

Manufactures Want You To Buy Another Vehicle Sooner Than You Should Need To.

Being a low mileage guy, I watch the oil life and when it hits 50%, I change oil and filter. Since the car has a turbo, I use only synthetic oil. Sometimes I go as little as 1500 miles between changes, sometimes 5k.

My last vehicle was a 2012 Ford Escape. I changed the oil every 5,000 miles. Never an issue. Sold at 160,000 miles with no engine issues.

I do my own oil changes on my 2002 Lexus ES300 with Full synthetic Pennzoil High mileage, every 5k miles. It currently has182k miles and only burns about 1/2 qt. between oil changes. This 1MZ-FE will last well over 300k miles

folks, its not just the miles, its time as well as what kind of engine you have. Direct injection gasoline? Change more frequently. Diesel? At least 2x a year. What kind of driving? Short runs, cold weather, never letting it get up to temp for long? All wreak havoc on the oil. Also make sure the amount is up to the proper level or you will make the oil run too hot and it will degrade it further. Lots of different parameters to look at

I had a 2011 Buick Enclave and it was a trouble free and good car. Just traded it this year with 145k miles on it. Drove nice, comfortable and pretty quick on the highway.

I almost began to listen to this channel until I heard “ change your oil once a year “ 😂😆

Explosions Scotty? Cmon man! An explosion in the combustion chamber is a detonation by definition. You NEVER want an explosion in the engine as that means the flame front is supersonic and can tear bits of metal from the piston or rings or even can create small cracks in the cylinder walls if it goes on continuously. You want a controlled low flame front speed, hence the octane rating in a gasoline engine. Never use the word explosion in an engine again!

IM LEAVING KZfaq - Scotty

I like to watch my KZfaq at 1.5x speed because I can watch more stuff. I even watch a few channels that I can hear it at 1.75x. Scotty, I have to watch you at 1x because your brain is working faster than the words can get out of your mouth.

I change my oil every three months I have a Volkswagen Jetta 2.5 2008 it has been running pretty good❤

Most people drive in the severe driving conditions and should change their oil more often.

I found (and bought) a mint condition '94 Corolla wagon with 8,500 original kilometers in '21. JDM; from Japan, which means it has to be thoroughly checked every 1-2 yrs to be roadworthy. I researched its docs (it was pretty much a wallflower in terms of buyers because it's a Corolla not a GTR) it sold for $2k in auction, rated a 4.5 our of 5 condition. When it arrived it might as well have been brand new. There was no problems with it because it didn't just sit for decades; it was maintained for use, minimal as it was. Corolla G-Touring Wagon model is sharp looking with paint scheme and front bumper valance (or whatever you call it) and small wing on the tailgate roof. I've driven it every day in Hawaii, I'm retired and only do about 20 miles a day, put 10k kilometers on it. It will outlast me I'll bet.

The oil companies want you to change your oil much more often than necessary.

23 yr change Cherokee oil every 5ooo mi. Has 247+++, no problems. I really enjoy your videos, thank you

If you have a boat, does this mean you risk getting water in the differential when you launch and recover the boat? You have to back down the boat ramp and get your rear hubs pretty deep in the water.

We have an 03 Toyota Tundra with 260,000 miles in the family change the oil every 5000 miles with synthetic oil .

I have been running regular oil since I bought my truck (ram 3500 6.7 diesel 4 x 4) I have been changing it every 10,000 miles but all highway miles since I use it for hot shot & currently at over 1.1 million miles on it.

Full synthetic oil, my Honda has a display that shows the percentage of useful life of oil. It's a 2020 and I don't feel comfortable changing out the synthetic to regular oil.

Scotty, if the car was towed to Tesla. How did it end up been stolen. The car shouldn't move to start with (that's why it was towed 😮).

7:30 if anyone would like to avoid this issue you can look up "diff breather relocation." It is a fairly simple mod that uses tubing to move the diff breather higher up on the vehicle (typically to the engine bay). There are also kits you can buy.

I change oil every 5,000 miles on our family hauler (2017 Mazda CX-9), and every 3,000 miles on my personal daily ('23 Civic Type-R). All get Amsoil Signature Synthetic. Though Redline Oil, and Motul also make some good stuff.

Ive used vegetable oil in the past. Engine doesn't last to long but the chicken tenders are amazing!🤣

I don't trust that these oils say they're good for 10,000 or 12,500 miles, so I just replace my entire engine every 500 miles to be extra safe.

i've had ford 427 thunderbird with 75,000 miles and then changed the oil,, perfectly fine.. and other cars never changed the oil,,,change it and it was solid Black, but motor still ran fine...

Penrite oil synthetic is fantastic, has a higher boil degrees, last longer doesn't burn like a lot of oils so protects longer

Scotty i am excited and having smile on my face literaly every time i watch your videos and being impresed asking my self what doesnt this guy know lol greetings from slovenia

Love you Scotty you’re the man

Man I'd love to have Scotty over for dinner and watch him go! I would need to take down my ceiling fans though, cause I think he'd loose a hand or two

I run full synthetic I do either 3 months still or 5k miles whatever comes first to keep the oil clean

I drive 900 miles a year, and change the oil every 2years.

The Lotus Elise S actually has a 1ZZ=FE engine.

If your changing oil once a year, i recommend doing it just before winter. Thats when you want the oil at its cleanest, best flowing for winter.

3:20 That’s because of you my friend 🤝

Wow this video views went up like 500 likes in a minute. It’s crazy seeing the view count moving like a trip counter

I have a 2000 F150 that burns a quart every 500 miles. I haven’t changed the oil in over 100,000 miles. I just keep adding and diving

Love the shot of the Canadian guy photo.

This is good to know. I'm way past 5,000 miles on my oil change and driving. 😮

Some grades are only available as synthetic

Listening to scotty is like having your ears syringed with broken glass.

I have a 2014 Nissan Altima. The dealer bought it back from the first owner and replaced the transmission at 36k. I am the second owner and used synthetic oil at every 10,000 mile interval; 50k, 60k, 70k, 80k. Makes it easier for me to remember when to change the oil. I now have almost 220k 😮.

There is a Japanese auto maker who made a video on KZfaq, he did years of study on new engines and did a test on engines that had the oil changed every 3k, 5k, 7k, and 10k. The engines that had the oil changed every 3k miles had the least amount of sludge, carbon and wear. I’ve always changed mine every 3 thousand miles or 6months whichever comes first. I use Castrol gtx synthetic blend oil and a Toyota oil filter everytime I do mine. So long story short change your oil every 3 thousand miles.

I drive an old Cadillac, so I only have to change the filter every year! 😂
