How often you do fellas change your oil?

How often you do fellas change your oil?
I would change it every 5k miles or 1 year. Whichever comes first.

yes. AoA says 10k miles is good enough but I would say with Castrol Syntec is fine to about 5k.


I am also planning to do a oil analysis to see how things look.

Cheers

Where did your edit button go....... I have one.

You have to ask an admin like Kris Hansen in the feedback forum to add your edit priveleges

Which washer is recommended to change when doing an oil change? I just got some renewable lubricants bio-synth oil and going to get it changed this weekend.

Every 5K or 6 months for me

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

oil change done every 6 months. I use Motul in the spring. Castrol syntec in winter.

Oil changes done at 1k, 4k, 7k, and now 9,500 miles. Motul Excess 5/40.

I pay for my 5K intervals, the 10K are under the maintenance plan. The Castrol has proven really bad for this engine for anything over 4-5K miles, talk about dilution. Many people have sent their oil for analysis to Terry Dyson, he is a great expert. Def don't wait 10K miles, even if you lease the car show her some love!

Why exactly do you need a washer for changing the oil? I'm a stupid newbie. Please help.
