Oil Change Interval
Thursday, February 22, 2007 7:55 AM
I am running Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic in my Eco now and I was wondering what is a good interval to change it at? 3000 like normal or longer?

i heard that it is just a waste to change synthetic every 3000 cause it lasts longer or something. i'll probally just stick to 3000

If that would be the case, it would be stupid to pay so much for syn.

I went to Pennzoilplatinum.com and they recommend to go by what the manual for your vehicle says.

but with school and work i jsut find a good break in my schedule. minus runs at the track my car doesnt get pushed real hard or driven that often so it can stand to go a little longer.



My car may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.
