fully sinthetic oil, how frequently change?
Honda Accord VP, 2002. I use fully sinthetic oil, Mobil 1, 5W-20. How
frequently it should be changed, each 5000 miles or may be somewhat longer period? Escape tube is black inside (car has around 50.000 miles, but it was already slightly black when i bought it used and car had 18,000 miles), does it means that car burning oil? may be it depend on gas used. I use 87 (manual says 86 or higher). thanks, kara |

I would increase the oil change intervals to every 10,000miles (or
more) to compensate for the extreme price of the Mobel-1, Or go back to the regulars stuff (unless the car spends it's weekends at the racetrack). Pars |

the price of synthetic oil is $5.25/quart (not 7.50). It is compensated
by changing oil by myself. Engine should not responde better (what it means?, run faster?). One might see the advantage of good maintance (oil changes) on a long period of time, when your car will start to fume, i.e. will need to "make" the engine, it completely depends on maintance of oil changes (and oil quality too). |
