Alrighty gents for the SAR meet. I have about 2k left on my oil before the scheduled change which is at 3k miles. I am running a K&N oil filter with Mobil 1 synthetic. Its going to be around a 10 hour trip (if someone cant beat that I get that longest trip ;) cash) So should I change my oil before I leave even though it only has a 1k on it? Long trip and racing is what has me wondering
I would
Its mobil1!run the piss out of it,I always run my oil over the mileage recommendations....and at 250k...it must be ok to do so...LOL
i think you should be fine, but it wouldnt hurt anything if you did change it
you can go longer than 3000 miles between oil changes, especially with synthetic
you'll be fine, i went 7k on Penzoil Platinum and it looked no dirtier than when it was at 3k
Just change it. Be on the safe side and have decently clean oil when you get down here. **** I probably have like 1k left on mine and its only like an hour drive but im changing mine, bc im gonna beat the piss out of it at the track
Penzoil is made of wax. I run my M1 5-30 10K miles in the Blazer and it only has 210K miles.
Penz and quaker state are known for sludging up motors
Are you guys sure the synthetic Penzoil is bad? I only ran it twice because i got it for cheap after mail-in-rebates, so did it stay clean because there is not enough detergents :ugh2:, therefore bad?
BTW, i run Mobil 1 and Brad Penn now
