What is your oil change frequency?

[BigR4444]

Twice a year... in early January right before it gets really cold, and in early June before it gets hot.

I've only put 10k on the car in 4 years. I could probably get away with once a year but I feel much better firing it up on that bitter cold day in late January or sitting in traffic on that super hot day in mid July knowing I have fresh oil in that engine

Once a year for me right now.

Every 500 miles. Or after the 2nd weekend.



Track only car.

2020 Mustang GT Premium, automatic with BORLA ATAK. It's my daily driver. Once the oil life approaches 40%, I get the oil changed at the dealership. They put in full-synthetic 5w20. I'm at 15k now and I have had 4 oil changes already since picking up the car in December 2020

What a pointless thread… what next ? How often do you change your underwear?
Seriously……
What have you learned so far?

3500 at very most, but I use amsoil signature series and go by the oil life monitor.

When it says change oil soon.

My car has had a bunch and I’m at 20,500 miles. At 700 because a blower was installed and then every upgrade since at least every 3 to 5,000 miles. Needs one now in fact. This would be the second since June.

It sounds like Australian Mustangs don't have a remaining oil life display. Is that right?

Yeah, they do have this.

Every 5k miles or so but maybe 6 times a year I’m having a party when I hit 90k miles. See you in a month or two.

After my next oil change (currently once a year) I'll have to put more longer miles and see what happens because I'm due for my 2nd oil change and I've only got a bit more than 3,400 miles total on the car. I'm currently at 19% oil life and it's telling me that's about 100 miles left. Must be the short runs I make (under 5-10 miles) and using it 2-3 times a week. Oil analysis shows that there's a lot more life left in the full synthetic oil.

I don't see Skye accumulating a lot of miles throughout the year.

I'm thinking once a year, as she's coming out of hibernation each Spring

I have my oil & filter changed according to the Oil-Life Monitor, which for me has been once every 12 months, with mileage of 3,502 since my last oil change, using Amsoil Signature 5W-50 and a FL-2087 oil filter. Emptied 50ml (1/4 cup) of oil from passenger side FP oil/air catch can, driver side totally dry; dipstick level down 3/16" from top hole oil level mark noted at beginning of 12 month period; no oil added during that year. No tracking; all street driven miles.

On a related note, how often should gender fluid be changed?

Not as often as blinker fluid, for sure.
