How often dose the synthetic oil need changing?

[fariz]

the service guy has been using synthetic oil all the time and has been using castro oil my question for the experts is how often dose the synthetic oil needs change?

[kareraa]

it is advisable to change at 5000 km with a max limit of 7500 km and never use a low quality filter.

It is supposed to be changed at 10,00kms, but it would be better to change it between 7000 to 8000 kms, this is what I do

Why would you change oil at 7000 when oil manufacturer recommends at 10k, just curious. What benefit does that get?

What i know, is that these oil manufacturer always quote conservative figure and even if we stretch 10k - 12k it shouldn't be a problem.....!

Because of the heat here in Uae. The oil lost its viscosity quickly. And get contaminated more. Hoever if unfeel that oil still has its lubrication and the colour' u can use it uptil 10k

Hi,Humsafar-you right.

And one more reason for the oftenly change enine oil is cleaning properties for better engine work.

7-8 thousand km is ok for UAE.

What is the mileage of your car?

[humsafar]

104000 kms

104000 kms

104000 km only? May be you mean miles?!

I dont think heat has any co relation, as anyways heat inside the engine is lot higher than africa, uae or antartica......!

Older engine logic i can accept it. Its better to change slightly early in hi run motors.

Nop. Its kms. But unfortunately for last two weeks its lying ingarage. Some hit me on front just after ten

days of buying this one. And the garage guy is not able to get the parts, or may be the cheapest parts in order not to shrink his profit.

Suffering alot without car
