Re: How often do you change your oil?
Ford recommends changing oil in the EcoBoost V-6 every 7,500 miles with 5W-20. I always changed at 5,000 miles but I'll take their advice, now that they even put it on the window sticker oil change reminder after the last service appointment.

Re: How often do you change your oil?
My pickups computer tells me when to change it. On my wifes car I try to get it changed at 5000 miles but she usually waits for 7000 to roll around before she tells me it needs changed. With todays motors and oil you can go longer between oil changes than in the past, but dont go too long.

Re: How often do you change your oil?
Every 7500 on our Ford Fusion. I just laugh every time I see the dealership put their +3000 sticker on the windshield after each change, and then wait for the car computer to popup close to +7500.

Every 5,000 miles on an '01 with over 220k miles

Re: How often do you change your oil?
Every 4,000 miles religiously, but maybe I'll move to 5,000 miles after I get to my 20,000 mile mark later this week.

I also have an '05 Sierra that I change the oil in twice a year- fall and spring which is usually about 5-6,000 miles. 5.3L V8 takes 6 quarts of fresh oil, but only 5 quarts drain out.

Every 10k miles per Toyota's manual/dealership for my prius when using synthetic.

I laugh when I see land rovers..... It just tells me you spent way too much money on an unreliable piece of British crap.

Originally Posted by cdnlngld I laugh when I see land rovers..... It just tells me you spent way too much money on an unreliable piece of British crap. They are not the most reliable vehicle but I wouldn't call them crap. The interior of the last Range Rover I sat in (car show) was one of the nicest I've ever seen. After about 4 days at the Chicago auto show most of the domestic interiors look like they've been put through hell and back.
On a side note, I didn't think Spokane was being cocky by mentioning the brand. Now if he would have said "my paid off 2013 Range Rover", than that's a different story. I've owned an Acura(2), Lexus(1), Infiniti(1), VW(1), Honda(5), Pontiac(2), Chevy(3), and Nissan (2). The Acura, Lexus, and Infiniti were some of the cheapest and the Nissan was the most expensive. My current Infiniti cost about as much a new Honda Civic.

Re: How often do you change your oil?
About 6-7,000 in my daily driver; I use the synthetic in it. Once every year or two for the toys which get the non-syth stuff.
 No matter what, I could NEVER cheer for Dirt and Urine.
