E DOUBLES TL

So i got the Mobile 1 synthetic oil change in the end of January at the dealer instead of their dealer brand. It's suppose to be better performance and better for the car. Also it would mean i change the oil less frequently. Now my question is for how many miles would it be OK to run it before the next oil change? At the dealer they had said since this oil last longer i could let the oil % go down to about 10% then reset it and once it gets back to 10% its time to get the oil change. Is this correct i don't want to ruin my ride.... Or would it be best that when it measures 10% the first time change it then.

I normally go 5000 mile change interval on synthetic oil. i dont think the oil life % on our cars works well. cuz ive driven 5000 miles and it still says 60%

oil is motherfucking oil is motherfucking oil.

change it when the MID calls to change it.

Zach, the MID is VERY accurate; taking in account for engine revs, start ups, and other conditions.
so, if you do lots of highway driving it'll take LONGER for the MID to reach zero than if you were to drive city with lots of stop and go hitting VTEC daily.....


YOu two fellas DO know that there is an OIL thread right underneath this one?????? that explains everything with some mother fucking scientist giving their motherfucking opinion?

It's most likely not the Extended Performance M1, but the regular version. Should be good for 7-8k.

YES! Another oil thread.

I use oil in my engine.

I always use M1 in my vehicles and still never go longer than the manufacturers recommendations. With my Type S's I have always usually done the oil changes when oil life monitor gets to 10% to 20% remaining.

I actually need my first oil change for my type S that has 50k Miles. I asked the dealer what oil they used before and they said they don't have any records... Do you guys think I should go with synthetic or regular, cuz I heard its bad if you change in between...? Also how many quartz do I need?

Changing is fine. Buy 5 quarts.

it doesnt matter the oil.
use whatever you would like.

zubi23

buy 5 and use all of it? r u sure... or is it 4.2 quarts?

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

if you buy 4 quarts, and the engine calls for 4.2 quarts...where are you going to get the .2 quarts from?

Jackass

I use oil as well. It helps my car run smoother.

Blinky light == oil change.

zubi23

supposedly its 4.5, but if I buy a 5L bottle, how do i take out 0.5 from the bottle before inserting the 4.5 for the oil

Open quart, pour quart.
Open second quart, pour second quart.
Open third quart, pour third quart.
Open fourth quart, pour fourth quart.
Open fifth quart, pour half of fifth quart.

Rocket science hurts my brain.

or if its from a 5quart jug, leave half a quart in the jug.

Also not sure the last time I used oil that didn't have incremental measuring markers on the bottle itself...

or just check it the oil stick after the 4th full bottle and pour as needed and check the oil stick again.

I think the correct response here is:

YES. EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER USES MOBIL 1 SYNTHETIC.

Nonetheless I will humor you; I use Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w-20 in both of my TL's and I haven't had any issues changing the oil between 6-7k miles. The EP brand claims its good for 15k miles though and I couple it with a M1-110 or M1-104 Oil filter as well.

I use the same as you. It still comes down to one's driving stlye and their time of commutes to determine when its best for one to change thier oil.

Crap.....I've been using olive oil because I heard it was healthier....

I've calculated that I could go 7,850 miles on synthetic without any adverse consequences using RCM.

I hate cars

I wait until the oil pressure light comes on or the engine siezes up, whichever comes first.

Applesauce is a healthy substitute for oil in brownies. Will this work in engines too?

I made a handy video for you:

I use mobile 1 on both my 05 & 08 tl. I go 5000 miles in between oil changes.

lol

Leave the 5th bottle half empty, no, half full.

I hate cars

Mobile is where I'm from. Mobil is an oil.
