Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / September 2005oil changes
I recently had my Honda Accord oil changed using Mobile 1 synthetic oil. The place I had it done said to come back in 10,000 miles or 9 months. This seems a bit too long beween changes, but I don't really know. Anybody got any answers? thanx in advance, millsman "rmillsman" wrote: >I recently had my Honda Accord oil changed using Mobile 1 synthetic >oil.

I would say 5000 to 6000 miles tops between changes but even then when you "feel" the oil between you fingers you will feel the grit it has picked up compared to new clean oil. > "rmillsman" wrote: >>I recently had my Honda Accord oil changed using Mobile 1 synthetic [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > "feel" the oil between you fingers you will feel the grit it has > picked up compared to new clean oil. Another issue to look at is pH. Oil should not too much acidity.  SignatureFrancisco Duarte >Another issue to look at is pH. Oil should not too much acidity. Very true and this is caused by combustion byproducts getting into the oil over time. |
