Hello all Ive been using Mobil 1 5w30 extended mileage. Changing every 5000 miles. runs great oil not to dirty when changing. went to local walmart they were out so I purchased Mobil 2 high mileage 5w30. I was wondering how many miles can i go before next oil change. I was thinking keep it the same 5000 miles what do you guys think and how many miles do you all drive before oil changes Thanks

 

Sorry I ment extended performance mobil 1 5w30

 

the gold one that can go for "15,000" miles? I run any 5w-30 Full Synthetic, usually Valvoline and I change it between 5-6k miles. If I bought that Mobil 1 extended performance I would comfortably change it at 8k. Just check oil levels frequently in case a top off is needed

 

I never go over 6k/6 months between changes running synthetic. Depends on your driving habits.

 

I usually do 5000 to 6000 miles. I shoot for 5000, and if its not convenient to do it that weekend, I wait. Usually end up doing it around the 5200-5500 mile mark. With my first oil changes of the Dakota, and then the Jeep, I switched from Mobil 1 (what I had used in past vehicles) to Penzoil Ultra.

 

I use regular Mobil 1, change it every 6 months regardless of mileage...keeps the number of warming cycles on the oil to a relative constant.
