Re: Automakers: Oil Lasts Longer
My son is driving my old 99 Ford Expedition with 180,000 miles to date and it's running great (Hope I don't Jinx it!). The vehicle was a company car and they only permitted changes at 5000 miles with conventional oil.
I'm changing the X-fire at the recommended intervals, but I'm a little concerned because I don't like it sitting over the winter without a change; however, is that the old mindset?
I have heard the Semis running synthetics will spin the filters off and just top up the oil. Not sure how many miles they go before a complete change, but it make sense. The contaminants should be in the filter; right!
