Depends entirely on car, oil, and usage.

A new direct injected motor...ID feel iffy at 5k because of fuel dilution.

A regular fuel injected motor in good repair? 5k on conventional. 10k plus on a good synthetic.

Carbed motor...3k.

Car that only sees short trips...4-5k.

Car that sees only highway or roadtrips...ill run 10k on a good conventional.

I'm an oil nerd.

I order special Denso filters, special crush washers, and have over 60 gallons of oil stashed in the shop.


What's the vehicle, condition, and mileage?
