I wish, but we've got to see the grand
daughters, & this week was our only 'window'. Is Dianna going
with you?

Agree! My 2003 Mazda Tribute 'airport' car has over 150k.
The 92 Suzuki Sidekick 'boat hauler' has 215k and is just
starting to use a quart between changes but both run like new
(can't say the same for the Sidekick's plastic which is
recycling itself into dust : ) BMW's on board oil change
scheduler starts at around 15k for oil service (synthetic oil
& filter). It shortens the interval if run hard or all slow
city traffic. It looks to me that the algorithm is basically
just measuring the total amount of fuel burned. I gave my
daughter a 70 something Datsun that had 410k before the front
seat would no longer support the driver. I can only assume she
took my advice on oil to use.

From everything I've ever read and learned from a buddy
who was a Mobile outside salesman, Mobile One is good for
15K between oil changes in modern cars. In 91 I bought a
new Honda Accord and ran Mobile one like that for four
years and 100K before selling it. I spun a new filter
every 5K but only dropped the oil every 15K. Would have
liked to have kept it past 100K to see how it did in the
really long haul, but had to sell...
Great oil for sure!
