While I agree with you, there are people that do 10,000 mile intervals and get these engines to 200k-300k mikes without issue. They’re using the right oil, they have the right engine for it, they keep the oil level full, and they have an easy commute. But yet I agree with you.

@@doublebase6509I have a 2016 Honda Civic 2.0L i4 (non-turbo). I drive primarily hwy miles so I do OCI’s of 6K-7K miles. Hondas need to have their valves adjusted periodically. When we took the valve cover off at 150K, the valve train was silvery, clean, no varnish, deposits, or sludge at all. Quality oils, filters, and regular maintenance (also not dogging the car to death) can lead to longevity. I’m hoping to get at least 300K miles on it before I retire. 😊

Good video. Oil changes are a lot cheaper than parts changes. The OEM maintenance schedules are based on "normal" driving conditions. Unfortunately, most people's driving conditions fall under "severe" driving conditions which have shorter maintenance intervals.
@TheOnespeedbiker
@TheOnespeedbiker Жыл бұрын
Agree. Normal driving conditions is a poorly understood concept (usually the minimum requirements for engine warranty repairs) and also more designed to comply with EPA extended maintenance mandates than engine longevity. Just assume the severe driving oil change schedule means normal driving conditions; IOW minimum 6 months or 5000 miles. And if you actually have severe driving conditions such as towing, extended stop and go driving/ extended idling, or numerous short trips under 20 minutes where your vehicle rarely reaches operating temperature or only does so for a short period of time (exasperates oil dilution especially with GDI engines), drop it down to 3000 mile intervals.

One sufficiently large chunk that gets through while the filter is in bypass can do a LOT more damage than many tiny particles ever could.

@doublebase6509
@doublebase6509 Жыл бұрын
Thank you. Just to be clear, a timing belt engine does not submerge the timing belt in oil, it’s sealed away from the oil. The crank and cam sprockets have seals around them (cam and crank seals) that prevent the oil from ever touching that belt. Then the belt is covered externally by a plastic timing cover. Oil would ruin a timing belt pretty quickly. The timing chain engines are different, the chains are submerged in that oil, and the oil is contained in the engine by a metal/aluminum timing cover. And these new timing chains are HUGE compared to old style short chains of the 80’s. They’re big, complex, and they need clean oil to keep the pins and rollers from gathering soot, which stretches the chains just enough to cause problems (noise, timing issues, misfires).

That is a good move. With a 2000-mile oil change interval, you do not need to use any kind of special filter either. Low-end and no-name filters are made to go 5000 miles, but not more. I got a one-owner 2001 Camry Le four with 143K on it back in early 2021. Some aspects of the maintenance had been ignored but the owner had been meticulous about oil changes over the entire life of the car. I have been keeping a 2800-mile oil change interval based on all in-town driving. 30,000 miles later, the engine is still as tight as new. I use whatever oil is the cheapest and a Supertech filter. All dino oil is semisynthetic now. Originally, my oil change interval was 2500 miles with conventional oil.

Did they use a cheap 5W-20 synthetic blend at jiffy lube, a non synthetic, or 0W-20 neglecting the car driving 20000 miles? Many people don’t check the dip stick. The oil could’ve been low most of the time. I have no issues driving driving with oil changes up to 10000 on my 2010 Camry LE 170000 miles. I use Mobil 1 on the Toyota vehicles in my house. May even switch them all over to Amsoil signature after I use up the Mobil 1. Im sure Castrol and Pennzoil are great oil too. I’m sure they all do fine. Much of the oil change debate is different car to car and if people don’t drive far enough to heat up the engine to operating temperature and drive it for a while. Many variables come into play.

We know the OEM engineers are overruled for commercial reasons. Kind of makes me sceptical of everything the manufacturer tells us. I also note you were not anti non-OEM filters.

Well said, and thanks. Regarding the filters, you bring up a good point. I know there are some engines that are sensitive to bypass pressures if they are off just a little bit. I’ve never had a problem, although I certainly have used my fair share of OEM filter. I’m really liking the Fram Ultra cartridge filters for the Toyota, but I’ve used OEM more often...they’re cheaper and rated for 10,000 miles. Mobil 1 makes a decent filter, Amsoil too, but they’re expensive at $20 plus a filter. And you’re right, OEM engineers are overruled for commercial reasons, and regional warranty campaigns. An oil change interval or viscosity is not always the same depending on where you are in the world.

Its all down to your driving requirements. Constant cold start and short journeys add gas to your oil and so dilute it. Generally speaking, a engine needs to get rid of gas from the oil, that means long journeys. Cold engines also stress your oil and dont become hot till about 8miles. If you do lots of short journeys then your oil should be changed at half the recommended, if not more. Use your dipstick to give you a hint, if the oil is dark -change it. DONT GO BY RECOMMENDED MILES, GO BY THE WAY THE CAR IS USED. RECOMMENDED MILES ASSUME LOTS OF LONG JOURNEYS OFTEN. Oil is expensive, but parts and labour far more.

My 2008 mazda 6 3.0 gets high end synthetic every 7500k as per trh manufacturer and it has 240k and runs like a top. But my 2018 mazda 3 2.5l being direct injection gets changes at 5k as per manufacturer and at 64k it uses no oil and has minimal carbon (so far). All my cars get lots of highway driving and the occasional 'italian tuneup'. Havibg said all that, i agree with you about those 10k + changes. No oil should stay in the engine that long.

So nice to see that in America the oil change is mostly done about 5000 miles. Here in Europe common is between 20.000 km - 30.000 km or 12.000 miles - 18.000 miles. what i see for years as a car mechanic that this is to long with al kinds of issues when cars get older. I recommend the costumer to do a oilchange within 10.000 km or 6000 miles. Nowadays with the small down grade engines here. 3 cilinder turbocharged, 900cc and more are giving issues in the long term.

True story, I was in a class where the instructor worked for Toyota, Mobil1 was working with Toyota at the time to formulate their oil for their 10,000 mile intervals. A lot of concern from the facility reps over this, as expected - Mobil1 assured them that their oil could go a lot further than 10,000 miles. Not sure how much longer but a lot further. Me? I’ve always been a 5,000 mile guy, but in the right engine/right commute/right oil, I think 10,000 is very doable.

Did you use the regular Mobil1 or the Mobil1 EP? I love hearing how these long intervals do for people that actually took the car to high mileage. I wouldn’t try something like that on a modern car though, not with direct injection, turbos, timing chains. I Imagine that your Nissan engine was timing belt, easy on oil, reliable, etc. I’ve done a few 10,000 mile intervals on my Toyota. Great oil analysis with it...came back looking like a 3,000 mile oil change, but I just don’t have the stomach to keep doing them. I think the sweet spot with this current car for me is probably going to end up being 6,500. I could push it further, I might, but I’m not sure I want to with this one. I plan on keeping it past 300k

It's hard to step out and see that the manufacturer knows better because he is interested in your satisfaction with his car.

Yeah good point, the PCV valve will cause oil burning. I have run into instances where oil will track into the intake and it wasn’t because of the PCV valve - what happens is when these rings get worn too much, the blow by enters the crankcase and pushes the oil up through the PCV system and into the intake manifold. There’s nothing you can do at that point. But the Sienna van is LEGENDARY for reliability and longevity. I’m hoping to get my Avalon to 500,000 miles some day.

Maple syrup! I'm a pleased Corolla owner and completely agree. My 2000 was the year for the piston issue you mention, but my interval of 5000 has helped I think (3 better I'm sure), I switched to synthetic, twice so far which they say 10k but I do 7500, but might stick to 5000. I might also try the high mileage flavor as it does seem to be burning some oil now (requiring a 1/4 qt between change or so), but I'm hoping it's just the synthetic leaking through some old seals. I had a MB and was told the expensive oil change was justified because you 'only have to do it every 10k miles'... I think that was the start of the 'interval inflation' you discuss. My Corolla is at 197k, I was going to go till 200 to change, but I think I'll do it sooner. Regarding going higher viscosity for Toyota, I heard that's a good way to clog your vvt valves.

Fun fact, I work at an independent NAPA chain, our Napa brand filters are actually manufactured by WIX. Also, if you're concerned about it, there are Platinum level filters that are better than gold, but are usually special order (next day or few days)

Ive just been doing my oil at 3000 using regular on my Nissan frontier. I use better synthetic on my ford transt 250 because im no the original owner and i have no idea what the oil change interval was before me. Ill probably do 3000 on that as well but if i set my sights at 3000 i dont beet myself up if i go to 3800 which ive done a few times

I buy Pennzoil and Fram at the home depot and pick what ever in stock. My 2004 Sienna specifies 5W-30. If no stock, I will take 5W-40 or even 10W-40. No problem. I do oil change twice a year, in March and in September. I check oil level every month and add oil if necessary. It's now at 282k.

With me Walmart is right next door to our Home Depot, and Walmart has the Pennzoil for $6-$7 bucks less per 5 quart jug, and more filter options. But I realize that’s not the case for everyone.

@@doublebase6509 I paid like $22 on Pennzoil and $4.50 for Fram filter at the home depot. Walmart is 30 minute drive. I bought Super tech oil and filter before for about $15 plus tax but they have raised the prices in the last few years so it's not worth going there.

Castrol EDGE is the best Oil on the market. It stays up in the motor because it is charged the opposite of the metal. Use 15 to 20k filter for synthetic if Oil gets dirty sooner change the oil again. But synthetic oil Doesn't break down.

When I started driving in 1986 , 3k was overwhelmingly the recommended oil change interval. I know oil was not the quality as now but I’ve always stuck with the 3k interval. When I get behind of the schedule and it gets to 4k….. I start loosing sleep!

My first real new car (it was a 1999 Honda accord), I did the oil changes every 3,000 miles until I finally sold it at 289,000 miles. That’s a lot of oil changes🤣 Didn’t really help the engine much - when I finally sold it, it was consuming a quart of oil every 500 miles. Was sputtering quite a bit at idle and stalling on occasion. Removed the intake, cleaned it, replaced the EGR valve (it had failed), and replaced the IAC motor. None of it mattered, I think the rings were shot?? Not sure. I told the guy I sold it to about the issues, he didn’t care. He only paid $1,200 bucks anyway…pretty sure he drove that thing another 100,000 miles. I’m now experimenting with 10,000 mile intervals, but only because I have an easy commute (and non direct injected engine). But it does make me a little sick doing these intervals. 😂🤮

@@doublebase6509 me and wifey bought. 1995 Honda accord that was sold with 450,000 miles and still running good . My Chevy 2003 Avalanche has over 300k and no oil burn off . Quality of filters play a part too. Some stories can contradict others experiences but changing sooner than later won’t hurt. It helps if you’re doing your own oil changes as it’s much cheaper and accessible.

The 2GR-FE is bulletproof and you can put 20w50 in it and it’ll still run. One thing to watch for that engine is the oil cooler line. It’s made out of rubber and eventually will break. Toyota has an updated part that is made out of metal.

If you change your Benz oil to a 10w40, you will stop consuming oil entirely. The lighter molecules in the 0w tend to evaporate with a hotter engine. Thank me later.

Not just piston rings ,front and rear main seal doesn't like contamination oils between them and crank shaft and it's not cheap to replace. There's no carguy wants see his car with oils leaks doesn't matter he's wants to keep it for 50.000 miles or 500.000 miles .of course any engine will runs and survive with 10 or 15.000 miles oils change intervals but with others problems come with it. The more late on oil change the more problems it will get

I mean, I wouldn’t go 20,000 miles on an oil change, but if it’s working for you? Nice. And you’ve probably done your research. I’ve used the Mobil1 extended performed several times, seem to do a good job. I have run it 10,000 miles before with oil analysis that came back great. But I just don’t have the stomach for it. Although I may perform an experiment to see if I can do 10,000 mile intervals, and still get to 300,000 miles without issue.

I have a 2009 Ford Escape V6. I change my oil between 4K and 5K, which is every 4 months. The engine still runs great and quiet but has developed a common oil leak at the timing cover and oil pan. I've also battled rust living here in New Hampshire, which I was winning until this year. The rust will be the death of this vehicle before the engine and transmission.

Absolutely, and I’m in the same boat. NH is brutal with the salt. I fluid film mine twice a year. NH oil undercoating works well too. Anything that’s a wet treatment undercoating does pretty well in the salt belt, from my experience.
