Advancs in oil chemistry and engine technology are the reasons why newer engines can go longer between oil changes.the "10,000 mile oil change" is very interesting to me. The Ti-VCT runs on oil pressure. I would think they would be encouraging people to keep their oil changed...
What allows them to be able to be able to go longer between changes?
Under heat and pressure, synthetic lubricants don't break down as easily as dino oil, and they can last as much as three times longer.
Tighter tolerances in modern engines means less slop, less thrash and therefore lower wear on adjacent moving parts.
Win - Win.
