Well, if you do, diligently check the oil level. I have a hard time

believing that if you go that long, you'll have any left, particularly on a higher mileage car. On something newer, it might be less of a concern. But vehicles do simply lose oil via burn and some seepage somewhere as they get older.

I do the 10,000 mile full synthetic, but I hardly ever let it go the full 10.

Since it is car maintenance day...who has used 20,000 mile oil? -- Coach McGuirk 04/12/2022 5:55PM

My car monitors the oil and calculates the life left -- Tafkam Hokie 04/13/2022 10:15AM

I dunno know what mine is. I just cop it from the recycle area @ the dump ** -- Riverguy 04/12/2022 7:04PM

That's been my SOP forever -- RTFC 04/12/2022 10:16PM

You can always do oil changes between their 10k intervals. -- EDGEMAN 04/12/2022 11:07PM

Costco and Super Tech are both excellent motor oils. -- YardBird 04/12/2022 8:13PM

Pretty sure those two are almost the same exact blend -- EDGEMAN 04/12/2022 8:20PM

I use the Mobile 1, makes a world difference in the sound of the engine. ** -- AZHokie59 04/12/2022 6:36PM

Youtube mechanic Scotty Kilmer doesn't trust 20K mile oil.Oil is not that -- HokieDan95 04/12/2022 6:24PM
