Interesting. The engineers at Mobil Oil told me that, when using fully synthetic oil, changing it once a year is perfectly fine. No matter whether I put 1,000 or 30,000 miles on it.

I change my synthetic oil every 25,000 and my Honda has 481,000 miles on it. I red line 1st and 2nd gears so clearly synthetic oil lasts a lot longer than the manufactures think!

Hi, Richard. We recommend to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations – although it would not hurt, no need to do it sooner. If you have any other questions please contact consumer support at producttechsupport@goldeagle.com

I have 4k on my Chrysler 300. It is now 6 months since I bought it. Can I wait until the 7k recommended interval or do I need to change it now? Normal driving pattern.

I only drive my 2012 SCION iQ about 1000 miles per year. How often should I get an oil change, the car uses synthetic oil.

This is very interesting. Perhaps everyone will dream of this, unfortunately I am so poor, I will try to do this to realize the dream of his house.

In reply to Steve Camp. This is not within our expertise. We suggest you follow the oil and vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.

I have two vehicles, a 2006 F150 FX4 with 70,000 miles and a 2009 Explorer with 20,000 miles. Using Motorcraft oil, which I understand is a synthetic blend, the oil change interval recommended is 7,000 miles.
In the F150 I am using Mobil 1 synthetic and Motorcraft in the Explorer.
Both vehicles are driven mostly at highway speeds with little stop and go.

Two Questions:
1. What is the most important, number of months between oil changes or number of miles driven between changes?
2. Given the nominal mileage driven, would it be appropriate to simply do the oil change annually?
