Im in Germany and my mechs laugh out loud mind you, how we p-ss oil down the drain. Modern oils are so strong and durable most here just dont get it.
Example - The current model Porsche Turbo 911 uses Mobil 1 and the dealer doesnt want to see you until 7500miles that's12000 kilometers. New or used doesnt matter. Talk about heat generation in that machine!
My VW dealer says 30,000 kilometers on my new GTI. Using the VW long life oil. I noticed they dont have a yard full of blown engines because of this either....Hmmmmmmm.
In any case folks should do an oil analysis and see where their motor is to begin with and look long and hard at how you actually do drive.
The 3000mile oil change is long dead. Not only that back in the 70's many cars had 6000mil oil changes in the manuals not 3000mi. That was on Dino oil, non synthetic. What was the old phrase about a sucker being born......
