I have the equivalent of Nissan Altima. With this oil, I change every 6000miles and my ride has been smooth.

I always go by the manufacturer recommended interval, regardless of the oil quality (I always use synthetic). Good oil only serves me as a guarranty of longetivity of my engine. my vehicle has a "maintenance minder" that takes into account accumulated revs. rather than the distance; it usually goes on around every 5k miles. my vehicle is mostly used in the city. it is a 2008 Honda Ridgeline with 130,000 miles designed for conventional oil, I've never had to top my oil, and run as smooth as silk.

Follow the manufacturer's recommendation or less miles between oil changes. Synthethic (100%) will allow much more time between changes because it does not degrade with time, like conventional oils; and you should be able to get 5k to 7k miles between oil changes. I drove a Grand Caravan (3.8L) for 240k miles without burning more than 1/2 quart in 6k miles oil change, 10w30 Mobil 1. Changing filter is a must each time or in between. Good Luck.

K&N; makes one of the best oil filters on the market. It all depends on what your driving habits are, as the Honda oil wear algorithm takes that into account and will indicate when it is nearing the oil's end-of-life. If you use a good synthetic oil and this filter, there's no reason you can't go 7,500-10,000 miles depending on your driving.

If you've been using synthetic for the life of the car I would say that is okay but if you are looking to switch from long-term conventional use the switch may cause leaks as synthetic seems to clean areas out more. I know this from working as an oil tech and seeing countless people come in and want to switch to synthetic and come back with new leaks that didn't exist before

I prefer to add it a few hundred miles before the next oil change, because as it cleans the gunk out of the engine, the filter removes the gunk and the filter becomes full. If you use with fresh oil change, you will need to change the filter after a few hundred mile, to insure your filter system works correctly. You can add it to your gas any time, preferably often to keep your upper end lubricated and the fuel system, including injectors, clean. Excellent product from my experience.

You can buy the XADO 1 Stage Maximum atomic metal conditioner and just do your normal oil changes. I use synthetic so I only change my oil every 10,000 miles.

Sorry for the delay. Cera Tec is going to work in the friction system for 30.000 miles . But you are going to change the oil as always you do. Before use Cera Tec,use a Liqui Moly Valve Clean in one full fuel tank, then change the oil and after use Cera Tec.

One at a time. We change it about every 6 months. Your mileage will vary of course.

I'm not an expert, but I would say you could easily go 5,000 miles minimum. Something else you can do, have an oil analysis done after that 5k miles. Swing over to Blackstone Labs' website, send off an oil sample and they will email you a detailed report on how the oil held up and whether you can run it longer or should change it more often. The reports may also indicate other things too, such as metal content in the oil (inadequate lubrication) or if there is coolant or fuel mixed in the oil. The cost is extremely reasonable.

Safest answer is to change whenever U change the oil..if the oil change interval is 5 k..and U do a great deal of hwy driving, U might stretch to every other oil change, but why, it's the cheapest expense..use synthetic oil and always change at least once per year

This is a top of the line ATF that will out perform pretty much all other products out there.. However, at 190,000 miles, the quality of your rebuild will probably be the deciding factor in your transmission life vs the quality of the fluid. So you may be better served sticking with something much cheaper.

I wouldn't use any liqui moly product especially ceretec until break-in is over. Things need to wear and in the right places. After 10,000 miles then maybe. Refer to the owner's manual for specifics concerning driving habits and oil change intervals during that time.

Zach Yes I have a08 Dodge 2500 with the 6.7 cummins, I use the 15/40 oil in the engine, and the 75/90 in the rear end, and the Max ATF in both the transmission and the power steering. all are working great , I gained 2 miles per gallon and the trans shifts smoother as well Hope this helps Greg

I had to run my car over 100 miles before the engine repair started working properly,but once i drove it over a 100 miles it ran better and sealed all the leaks. So my advice would be to drive it for as many miles as you can and see what happens after that.

That's not question that has a good answer. Depending on your driving habits and where you live, it could last. 100K+. If you're not well versed in driving manual or you do a ton of burnouts and hard drag launches, it could last 2,000 miles. It's all relative to how you take care of it.

use High performance oil - we got it at Walmart for about $6 fyi We changed the oil right away and then after about 100 miles - the scooter works great! Just hit 500 miles yesterday with no problems at all

I don't know how many miles they are rated for but we have run Toyota filter for 5 k miles so we ran the k&n; filter for the same amount of miles and the Toyota ones look fine when we change the oil but this k&n; look like it had been thru a ringer we will be sticking with the Toyota ones from here on out
