Life Span for Syn. Oil

[Kytl68]

How long do you usually go before you do an oil change for your synthetic oil ..... 10K ?

 

Does your FC drops just about 7000km after oil change ? Can most oil last the distance ?

 

Good guide would be to check colour of oil and also how many months it's there since we all cover different mileage ... is 6 month or 10K a good guide ?

U were asking the Semi or Fully synthetic engine oil?

Depend on the driving style and car type.

[Kytl68]

Referring to the fully synthetic ... can the semi one also last 10K ????

[Mondeo]

Alot of workshops claimed that semi-syn's working temperature actually lower than fully-syn. And semi-syn can be last more than 10k for normal driving.

 

FC drop may affect by many factors, e.g. tyres..

between 8k to 10k max...

i one month around 4k km...so every bimonthly i service my car...

on Mobil 1 Gold and of course oil filter change...

 

spark plugs - i will use the denso iridium for next change, intend to use up to around 24k km around 6 months...if i feel the performance of extended use of the spark plugs deteriorate, then i will switch back to normal spark plugs for lower price but changing it at 10k km...

a rough guide would be ur fuel consumption, engine noise level and dipstick check.

 

the better guide is to install a oil pressure gauge and check that pressure is maintained neither too high or low.

 

but ur best guide would be a Used Oil Analysis.
