mobil one oil

How often do you guys change your Mobil one oil?
Lets say, you do avergae driving 50/50 city/highway.
I plan to change it 6000-7000 miles. it should double the drain interval.

im willing to do it every time i service the car...think of it this way...if u service your car every 3,500 miles or so like i do, u're gonna b paying for the oil anyway in addition to the filter and removal, so for an extra few bucks, y not use Mobil 1 every time?? better to b cautious than risk the limits of the oil, right??

Re: mobil one oil

Nah, I consider "Servicing" and oil changes two different things.
I change oil strictly by miles and time.

This sounds fine!

If you are paying twice as much for synthetic oil, why not get twice as much from it. Synthetics are proven to be fine twice the normal drain interval.
