Had an 06 cummins that I went 15k on oil changes 7.5k on filters using mobil 1, at 150k it ran like new.

I have no qualms with extended oil changes running a quality full synthetic.


Yep. We go 10k with Mobil 1 on my wife's Porsche and her Audi. Though still low miles (22k and 25k) the oil dumps pretty damn clean when changed. I change my Tundra around 6k with Castrol GTX. My '73 Mach 1 (a tweaked 351 Cleveland) gets Royal Purple as that is what the previous owner ran and provided two cases of. Next year it will have a different engine (427 Windsor roller stroker) and it will see Mobil 1.


Conduct is the best proof of character.
