I had the same reaction about the frequency of the changes
when I bought the car, but the dealer said these synthetics last much longer and
have higher resistance to heat breakdown than a regular oil, not to mention the
lubrication qualities are supposed to be superior. Geez, I sound like a
salesman, but all I know, is that at least for a 323i that gets from 30-32 mpg
for 8 years now. NO problems.....

Interval
So 15K at an average of 150 MPH would be 100 hrs…Most
cars change at 3K to 7K I think…7.5K would get you about 50
hours..??
There is no stop and go to build up water and
stuff. I bet you could get 100 hours on 12 quarts of Mobil 1 with no
adverse effects.
What do you think, Lynn?

And what about synthetics?
My BMW goes 15K between oil changes, and I am going on 175K miles, without a
burp.

[FlyRotary] Oil Change Interval
I don't recall this being discussed on the Fly
Rotary list in the recent past. So, here goes...
What is the
consensus regarding oil change intervals for normally aspirated rotary
powered a/c, assuming Mobil 1 and a high quality oil filter. I
want to err on the safe side, but with a 12 quart capacity, we're talking
about $100 per oil change. I don't want to damage my
engine/psru, but I also don't want to dump good oil either.
