Re: Quick change and Synthetic oil

I only have 500 miles on the Beast at the moment, but I am going to use Mobil1 , just like I did on my Maxima.

After doing googles on Syn life, I feel EASILY comfortable with my first change at 3000, simply to check on the engine, and then 6500 on change two, and then from then on 8500 miles to 10000 miles.

The new Syn BLENDS that Mobil1 came out with go up to 7500 miles.
The new Mobil1 EXTENDED full-syn is guaranteed to 15000 miles
I figure that somewhere inbetween lies regular Mobil1 Full-syn.

I would say anything less then 7000 miles on full synthetic and you are wasting your money.

On the Syn blend that the stealership uses, I would not go beyond 6000 unless you KNOW what brand it is.
