Honda Oil Change Frequency: How often should I change my oil?
Our shop manager, Rich Starr, discusses the most common question he is asked by Honda drivers: How often should I change my oil? The question of Honda oil ...
3,000 mile oil changes were necessary in the 80's and earlier. The oil
technology today is so superior to yesterdays oils there is no comparison.
Also the tolerances and designs of today's engines are light years ahead of
where it used to be. Follow the recommendations in your owners manual for
miles to change oil. I have a Honda CRV that tells me when its time to
change based on my driving habits. I average around 9,000 miles between
changes. 240,000 miles and no sludge and no problems.
shit that's honda then what about my car VW 2009 Jetta I need to change oil
but do I need to wait for 10000 miles? I can't wait for that so I don't
know what to do because cost lots of money... and my local VW said they do
give me oil service after 10000 miels oil change but still can't get over
it because I'm not always driving short time sometimes longer distance...
200 miles a day! I do trust VW said but can't accept to my self I don't
know Y is it because my car is not BENZ or BMW
i changed my friends 2011 honda accords 2dr oil...and he follows the oil
life % and change the oil and let drain for hour! then fill new oil
..restarted, checked the oil and still dirty, dark in color? he uses PZ
conventional oil with regular fram economy filter...is there a difference
in quality of oil and filter compared to the one ur talking about that goes
10000 miles? pls how many miles does oil life guage go for ??
on any car 5,000 or 6 months what ever comes first. never go by oem dummy
lights. engines last longer in that range. i drive 600 miles a week in
California. Toyota corolla 1995 1.8L with 650k and going. nissan 200sxse-r
450K RIP. acura rsx type s 352K present engine still healthy. coolent flush
every year and transmission every 30K. dont be cheapo on maintenance.
i change my cars oil at 1500 miles with rp hps syn. i dont mind spending
the money to have my car well taken care of....only cost me 36 $ for 04
sentra... oil and coolant is your engines blood and life...do what you feel
is best it your car..and i know some drive a lot and want get the most out
of their money in oil changes too..
If u used synthetic, must longer in life but how about your factory oil
filter? Did they designed Oid filter to use with synthetic oil yet..I knew
oil filter that used with conventional oil is very good at 3,000 miles
-7,500 mile Toyota said that their 0W-20 will last 10,000 miles?? How about
their paper filter??
10000 mile oil change you will need a new motor full syn 4000 and change
oil filter you would be fine wait any longer you will get sluge and be very
sorry best of luck.
