      RW> TW> I rembember when Mobile 1 first came out some got the idea that you       RW> TW> could either run far more miles on an oil change or eliminate them       RW> TW> all together.              RW>Most people went with the recommended extended oil change of 5000 miles       RW>back then. That's not much of a difference from the normal 3000 mile oil       RW>change when using standard oil.              RW> TW> Teh latter iot totally FALSE. IT wshound be changed. Now depending on       RW> TW> the engine service, light/normal/heavy, you can push out the changes       RW> TW> some              RW>Most synthetic oil change intervals are recommended for around 7000 miles       RW>today. I use Mobil One in all of my vehicles and change the filter at 3500       RW>miles, then the oil at 7000.              RW> TW> Opinions vary so perhasps some others here can toss theirs into the       RW> TW> mix.e              RW>Yeup. I know people who don't change their synthetic oil at all, others       RW>who change it just like it was 3000 mile oil.                     I see where Mible 1 now has an Extended Range version and they are       advertizing up to 15,000 miles(Very Light duty service I am       sure) between changes, OR a maximum of ONE year between oil changes.       ---        þ SLMR 2.1a þ 0         * Origin: Since 1991 And Were Still Here!
