As always I'll get flamed.... but what the hell, its the campfire!

I run mine anywhere between 4 to 5 times the distance as you do your 5K changes...

or between 3 and 3.5 times longer than you run your 7K changes...

Napa Gold filters, change every 10K.. oil used is Mobil One...

pretty much have been using Mobil One since about 1985, almost exclusively...

Oldest vehicle I have is my old 88 4Runner bought new in Sept 87... its had
Mobil One pretty exclusively most of its life... she's got a mile or two on her
and still chuggin around pretty good...but does show some wear here and there...
