How often should you change the oil?

Conervatively, most so called experts will say new generators need their first oil change after25 hours. Beyond that, you'll have to dump refill every 50 or 60 hours. I usually look at the oil, finger test for color and viscosity, if it is fine I leave it alone and add when it is needed.

I'd check your owners manual but generally GM specifies 10-30 weight oil. Depending on your mileage the move to synthetic can improve gas mileage slightly and assist the engine in running a bit cooler as less friction. If your engine has any leaks it may exacerbate them. Once you switch to synthetic you should stick with it.

I change mine every 2-3 years, depending how much you use it. I use it about once a month for the large kitchen area.

Don: I pull it by the power cord. But once a year I make sure that the cord is securely attached to the housing. I also tighten 4 screws for motor housing lightly to avoid the oil leak once a year. The first one leaked oil over time and killed the motor.

Hi Jose,The short answer is: You should still follow your Manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule. This filter cleans imperfections and particles from your oil just like any other filter-- keeping your engine's internals clean; it just cleans more efficiently than a less costly option. If you fail to change your filter at the recommended interval, yes, it will still 'work' at cleaning the oil, however the efficiency of the filter will have degraded.

Daniel, Over the years, I've been in the habit of using the product with every other oil change. I've always used the fuel treatment along with it. However, it depends on your driving habits and the kind of car you have. If you have a high performance auto, and drive hard, then you may want to use with each oil change. In all cases, use with fresh oil.

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.

If you skate street all the time, like everyday for hours at a time, I would keep them oiled once a week. If you skate park, once a week should be enough. Use 3 in 1 oil. It's available at any auto parts or hardware store. 3 in 1 is way better than any skateboard brand cleaner and keeps bearings fast and rust free.

Depends on conditions how well the safe seals and how often your in it, my guess would be 2 every six months. I use two in my toolboxes and change them every six months to a year depending on environmental conditions.

Yes it's safe just don't go more than 2000-3000 miles before your first oil change. The reason is that the synthetic really cleans out all the sludge (if your engine has it) and grime and will get filthy quickly. It's doing what it's designed to do. After that you can go to your recommeded oil change intervals.

It treats 5 quarts, my suv uses 8 and I've noticed a difference right away. Use it every oil change. It states every 5000 to 7000 miles,

According to Motul sheet recommendation, for VW 2.0T you can change it every 9K, last time I changed at 8K and oil was still a bit clean. Not a racer, but sometimes drive a bit spirited to remember my young days.

Nah, I uses it every oil change, which for my car is 12K miles (synthetic oil). Or if I notice my car is sluggish and the MPGs drop.

Oil once a month with cooking or shredder oil. Every two weeks if shredder is used daily.

I use this product in my 2008 MINI. The dealer puts it in, and says "see you in one year or 14,000 miles, whichever comes first. So, don't waste your money changing this premium quality top-shelf synthetic oil every three months, especially if your engine is only three years old and not burning any oil (which I would imagine is the case, since you've been using this oil all along). If your driving style is characterized as "extreme duty" (short trips, dusty conditions, towing a trailer, extreme hot or cold) you might want to consider changing at 6000 miles. But you should certainly go with annual oil changes if you only drive 10K per year. Just check the color of the oil every so often, and if it looks transparent and not darkened, then it's still good.

It's safe - you may need to apply every 3 to 4 hrs. deepening on the amount of oil your skin produces.

Really once or twice a year or every third oil change if it is real bad you might try changing your fuel filter
