How often do you change your oil?
>>15304603
about every 7k miles with full synthetic
if i was running standard oil it would be 4-5k just for peace of mind
i have some friends who change at 10k, they're retarded
1x a year or 5,000 miles, whichever comes first (for the bike)
whenever the idiot light comes on (Acura TL - DD)
Whenever the low oil light comes on, because it usually loses a quart before 3,000 miles (Porsche 944 Turbo)
>>15304603
3,000 miles
I've never changed my oil. I just puncture a hole in the engine block to leak oil and add more when the light comes on.
>>15304603
20,000 miles recommended by my owners manual
Every 3,000-4,000 miles
Manual says every 24k kms but I change it twice a year and drive maybe 15k kms a year
>>15304603
Every 5k. Half what the book says. Syn blend.
Oil filter at 3k. Oil and filter at 6k.
As per the car manual states.
20w50 conventional oil.
every 50k
Every 5000 clicks, old shit box volvo 240 running 10w30 dino
Every 7,500 miles. Synthetic 5w20 in my S197 GT.

>>15304957
My owners manual says every 3500 for severe conditions (extreme cold/heat, dusty, mostly stop and go city traffic, driving with a heavy right foot, etc., which I qualify for all four) so that's what I'm going with.
With the shitty oil filters most people put on their cars, 3000 doesn't sound so bad. A FRAM Ecore filter probably won't last much longer than 3000 miles to begin with anyway.
>>15304603
Every fortnight
What about cars that burn a lot of oil? Before the 5,000/7,000/10,000/whatever...
if you go through a lot of oil...can you just change the filter? Some cars probably lose enough oil that you actually end up adding full capacity in between the miles suggested for oil changes
>>15304794
>said no owners manual ever
Every 3,000-3,500 miles in my '84 190E 2.3 running 10W-30 conventional
5000-7000k depending on the engine and how I drive
Carb'd truck gets 5k changes because it's off road and sucks more dirt into the engine, also runs too rich because shitty carb so the oil gets contaminated faster, and it doesn't have fancy roller shit in the valve train like newer cars.

Seriosuly, guys. Follow your oil change schedule. Don't fall for the "every 20,0000km oil change bullshit". Oil frequency of 7,000km or less depending how aggressively you drive. More abusive driving should equate to shorter intervals.
Once a month
>>15304603
Once a month, I still lose to GTR's all the time though. My corvette is crap.
>>15305377
Vauxhall (GM) recommend 20k miles or one year oil changes. They give ridiculously long intervals to keep the fleet market happy, in reality most small engined vauxhall cars have fucked engines because of this. You can literally hear a corsa or astra coming because of timing chain rattle and tappet noise due to shit servicing.

My car is still under warranty, would changing my own oil void that?
>>15305906
It shouldn't as long as you use oem parts and fluids and keep receipts to prove it.
>>15304603
when the light comes on
2x per year. Usually once in spring and once in autumn.
>>15304957
A day on a track can easily put enough stress to make an oil change strongly recommended.
I drive pretty hard and I've spun a bearing in a strong engine before despite changing the oil myself personally every 2.5-3k miles. I changed it but they sent me the wrong filter, figured it'd be fine and that I'd roll with it for a few more days until I could get a filter - span a bearing that week
TL/DR oil changes depend entirely upon your requirements and how your cars engine has worn over time.
>>15305906
Depends, changing your own oil might void it if not performed by an ASE certified mech even if you have all the receipts and use oem parts. they can't void your warranty cause you didn't take it to the dealer but not being a certified mechanic yes, they might fuck you.
>>15304957
Its not the oil that fails, its the filter that usually goes first
Most companies skimp out on filter construction and glue the pleats together which will eventually fail when you have hot oil constantly flowing through
Every 5000 km.
>>15304776
Dude same here
But I have a bad axel so I put the hole where it can drip onto the shaft and work it's way down to the knuckle
Every 6ish months. I don't drive too much.
I say 6months, its more "wow, that oil looks black as fuck, best change that" then its £20 down the local motorfactors for filter and oil.

>>15304603
>How often do you change your oil?
Corvette requires first oil change at 500 miles, but other lower-cost cars can go to the oil change indicator. To me that sounds like GM was willing to sacrifice the other cars a bit as compared to corvette owners.
I assume there will be some initial wear at the beginning of a new car's life, so I get an oil AND filter change. Hopefully if there are any metal shavings changing the filter will get rid of them before the oil filter bypass valve opens and lets a few bits swirl back into circulation. I switch to full synthetic of course. My GM dealer hates giving out any of those free oil changes since GM compensates the dealer far less than if the dealer charges full price for providing regular oi/filter changes. That's why my service advisors at Good Chevrolet in Renton Washington make it hard to get one by looking for ways to refuse to admit the car for the free oil/filter change. Their two bays are always full of full price customers instead.
At 1800 I got another oil change but that was so I could send the oil in for lab analysis. That way, future analysis will be able to refer to this first early oil as a reference point for all the changes that occurred.
Lab analysis can also tell you if you have slight coolant leaks well ahead of a gasket failure.
>>15304603
Once every 5-7,000 km because most of my use comes from town driving where it doesn't get to optimal running temps. This comes alongside the 1,000 km top-ups from my leaky sump gasket.
5W-30 as listed in the owner's manual.
>>15305349
>if you go through a lot of oil...can you just change the filter?
Yes and no. If your engine was using conventional oil, and you recently switched to a full synthetic that has a lot of detergent in it such as Pennzoil platinum ULTRA, then you probably still want some oil changes for the next few times. That's because any settled sludge at the very bottom of the oil pan will come out if it is near the drain hole.
To my knowledge, pennzoil platinum ULTRA is the one that cleans sludgey engines the best. Someone at BITOG forums did a time lapse showing how the dirty insides changed to become much cleaner over just one oil change to ULTRA. That is the ultra platinum full synthetic and not the regular platinum full synthetic.
>>15305349
if its got a small oil volume you can, my girlfriends Civic takes 3.5L of oil and burns a liter a week, we just change the filter once every 6 months thats it
my Chevy Silverado camper burns a litre a month but since it holds 6L i still dump the pan and change the filter every 8000km
5k miles with synthetic blend at the dealer. I tried the every 3k with full synthetic thing and ended up with holes in my block at 9k miles so forget that.
>>15305906
>My car is still under warranty, would changing my own oil void that?
NO. The Magnuson Moss Act created long ago by democrats, protects consumers against corporations requiring you to use only their products and services to maintain or supply their product. If they do so, then they must provide that stuff for free during the warranty period that they are otherwise invalidating.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson–Moss_Warranty_Act
FTC Explanation of how it affects you:
https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0138-auto-warranties-routine-maintenance
Certainly, some corporations and lobbyists want Magnuson-Moss to be deregulated and replaced with something else that will stimulate jobs and improve profitability for companies. Or so they claimed in the past. The republicans deregulated Glass-Stegall (created by democrats) and we got Bush's meltdown as a result. Part of Glass-Stegall was re-implemented with the other parts blocked by republicans, but Ryan wants the replacement to be deregulated. I guess he wants to get on the gravy train the next iteration of "too big to fail" taxpayer bailouts where all the cheaters made a ton of money. The deficit spending went somewhere, and that was the rich peoples' greedy "too big to fail" hands.

>>15307799
>Your dealer will take any chance to void it
As indicated at the Federal Trade Commission site, portions of the warranted car may be removed from coverage if the dealer can show that 3rd party servicing used a defective part or performed servicing incorrectly. One of the methods used to deny warranty coverage is that the car was NOT serviced at intervals indicated in the driver's handbook. The FTC says at their website to save all receipts and proof of servicing in case the manufacturer tries to deny you coverage based upon the fact that you didn't service the car properly (ignored service intervals).
Do not hand over your receipts for the dealer department manager to study later or those receipts may conveniently become lost. Your local dealer receives only standard LOW amounts of compensation from GM to perform warranty work. That is why the dealer prefers to keep their bays full of regular full charge work. Your local dealer is also unable to "pad" the warranty bill with unnecessary parts replacements and service fees since GM is the payer for warranty work. If the dealer is always busy, it would be to their profit advantage to deny you warranty coverage and force you to pay for repairs "out of warranty" even though the car is still in the first 3 years of bumper to bumper warranty. That is ruthless profiteering. The dealer enters into the computer the diagnosis that your car problem is out of warranty, so even if you go to another dealer, it will be denied when they look up your warranty repair reimbursement records on the GM network. Blame your ruthless dealer, err, stealership.

>How often do you change your oil?
I do that every 4000 miles or once per year whichever comes first with full synthetic. It's not that the oil is worn out (it isn't) but because oil fills up with impurities and even water moisture from blowby. It takes time to get the oil hot enough and run long enough to evaporate things like gasoline by products or moisture. I have a lot of short trips too, so by the time one year has gone by, I figure the small cost of the oil change is worth it. It seems to pay off as all the three previous cars I've had they have lasted to their "end of lifespan" time.
With basic maintenance done well, as long as the car doesn't have lemon parts in it, it seems to last. The first car I got my full use of and I gave that one away to someone who needed a new car but couldn't afford one. It's engine was a bit worn but it was my first new car. The 2nd was bought new and was given away after I had plenty of use and it's engine was still good and not burning much oil, but after 19 years, it was time for another car with more modern features. It was always waxed so its paint also looked new. I thought of selling it, but a 19 year old car, even if running well and looking near mind (zero dents, shines great, full clearcoat) is worth almost nothing to dealers.
The 3rd car is still doing well and has only had full synthetic since the beginning. As soon as I bought it new, I swapped out the OEM oil for full synth. As usual, dealer detailing put in a ton of orbital buffer swirl marks once the wax coat was removed before I applied sealant to the paint. I will maintain it like the 2nd car and it will go for many years unless there are lemon parts in it.

>Whenever the low oil light comes on, because it usually loses a quart before 3,000 miles (Porsche 944 Turbo)
I hope you top off at a fraction of a quart over the 3000 mile observation window rather than wait until it has been running a full quart low before adding oil.

The current SuperTech full synthetic (don't know about conventional) is made with base stocks from Valvoline. The additive package is different though. The choice of manufacturer can vary year to year based on what contracts that brand signs, so it might even be wise to not pay attention to who provides the base stock so as long as SuperTech's addititive package is reasonably the same year after year.
>>15313206
Manufacturers are currently going towards of lighter oils. The idea being that a ticker/heavier oil causes your engine to work harder thus creates more friction, causing more wear, causing decreasing fuel economy, and also causing a higher rate of oil consumption.
Thicker oil doesn't flow as well as lighter viscosity on cold starts. Video related:

Stick with what your manufacturer specifies in the manual.

There are high mileage oils for full synthetics too. These typically have additives that swell up the seals to reduce oil leakage in worn seals. Going to a higher vicosity oil reduces the amount of lubrication in your engine design which is designed to have sufficient fresh oil flow with equavalent 20-weight oil at operating temperature. That is what the 20 in that 5W20 means. You didn't say if you had any oil problems or situations. If you are not burning oil nor have oil leaks, then you can keep using the same oil. If you have oil leaks, then you can try high mileage version to see if the amount of leaking goes down (seal swelling additives takes awhile to work as it is not immediate).
>>15313312

>>15313301
>The cams and head look like new. Totally clean with gold colored oil everywhere.
I was also amused at the full synthetic oil with my new car. The new car had the OEM blend of conventional oil and full synthetic oil. I read on other forums that owners changed their new car filter ranging from immediately to 100 miles, at 200 miles, or as much as 500 miles in order to get rid of any possible metal particles. And if the filter is changed, might as well do the oil too. So I changed to valvoline full synthetic using one of those discount $49.99 full synth oil/filter changes at Sears Automotive centers.
At 500 miles, the oil blend that came out was already darkish with strong hints of golden color. Hand waving a ball park estimate of 5 on a dark oil color scale of 1 to 10. After the change and running the engine for about 25 miles, I checked the oil color and the oil was a little bit dark due to not all of the previous dark oil being drained out. I'd say it was about 2.5 on the darkness scale. So apparently a good bit of the old oil still remains inside after an oil change.
I ran with valvoline and it got just a bit darker by 1500 miles and I then changed to mobil1 Dexos made from natural gas Full Synthetic oil at yet another full synth oil change special. This time at wal-mart automotive which was $44.95 for Father's Day week special. Treat your father to an oil change? LOL The normal full synth price at wal-mart is $49.95 which is an excellent deal compared to all the other oil change places or the dealer.
In contrast to wal-mart, high-priced JiffyLube charges over $100 for a full synth by the time they add on all those extra feee like the dirty air filter replacement.

If trash oil that wasn't refined enough was used, then the various other chemical substances in the dinosaur oil could oxidize or chemically combine under heat and pressure to form sludge that sticks builds up layer after layer even in the upper parts of the engine.
Even with name brand oils and frequent changes, dark layered buildup can occur on internal surfaces as seen in some BITOG forum posts. In one experiment to test Pennzoil platinum ULTRA full synthetic with its supposedly maxed cleaning additives, someone did an elapsed time set of pictures of the insides of one area of the engine. Over a period of months, the layered dark film of carbonized deposits (not soft sludge but something similar to a dark glaze) disappeared. Various posters responded with the as expected "wow, seeing is believing" types of posts. That was the ultra version and not the regular platinum.
Other users cautioned against using ultra if there were huge amounts of thick sludgey deposits (like what OP posted). something like that has to be physically cleaned out as much as can be done and then a flush. That's to prevent any small passages from being clogged by thick hardened pieces of sludge that might be loosened by Ultra that then fall down and form a clog.
The solution? At the beginning, use a quality dinosaur oil that is well-refined so that it doesn't have so many other substances in it that form sludge. Or go to full synthetics to reduce the amount of deposits. Can't help if if your cylinders are worn and there are a lot of blow-by gases contaminating the oil, but at least by using full synth, you are reducing the number of contributors to the sludge problem. And pennzoil platinum and platinum ULTRA seem to have more detergent activity in them than the other full synth oils.
I'll buy a cheap jug of platinum ULTRA at walmart.com and top off my full synth QSUD high-PSI oil as needed.

Vague wording. There are two different types of "high mileage" oils. One type is for cars that have high mileage on them (odometer reading). The other type is for people who intend to keep the oil in the car for long intervals without changing the oil. That is not the oil you want to use.
This is where advice can be harmful if the poster and reader are using different dictionaries for the term "high mileage".

I'm going to hit 150,000 soon and will use that tune up my car.

I find that I'm some sort of auto-Hypochondriac.
I'll get that changed tomorrow morning.

Every 3k because i have a old leaky v8 with a flat tapet cam
>>15304895

Every 6-8000 myself. Mix of city driving and long cruising. The main bearings on the RX8 are notorious for shredding.
It also eats 100ml of 2-stroke every 20 Litres.
When you take your car in for s change do they just drain it and fill it? Is that really it
>>15329682
Its a drain and filter replacement.

Ahh, so I see your car does it's own oil changes.
Every 6 months with full synthetic.
I don't bother looking at the miles because I rarely go over the recommended distance. Don't know how so many people drive so much.

Chill anon, the oil won't expire in the crankcase.

Some chain shops have contracts to use certain oils exclusively. I suppose that is how they get a discount from the oil vendor. If you ask for full synthetic, at Sears Automotive, they only have Valvoline Full Synthetic. The JiffyLubes here only use quaker state.

>Don't know how so many people drive so much.
Some people live 40 to 80 miles from their place of work. Due to Bush's Great Recession, many people were forced to change jobs and the new employer was far away. That happened to my next door neighbor who had to drive 80MPH each way every day. After about six months, the family felt the new job was stable enough to sell their house and they moved after about 9 months. So that was 9 months of driving 80MPH each way until they finally sold their house when their kid finished school for the summer.

Well, we know you meant 80 miles instead of 80MPH. 160 miles * 9 months = 28,800 miles of driving in 9 months just to commute for work.
Every year/every 10 000km's, Mobil1 0w40 & OEM filter

Those wheels look out of place on that 190
Also, oil change whenever I buy a different car, so every other month.Cheapest oil to meet specs.
Every 3000km with royal purple full synthetic.
Every 5000mi LOF and rotate tires.
