Check it cold, in the morning.

I would *never* do more than 3k. I need to be under my car and looking for problems at least that often.

I've gone over 10k in my V6.Check out M1 EP, 15k warranty.Mobil's basic oil is good for 5000 miles.

No 15K mile warranty if your car calls for shorter OCI.

"If your vehicle has exceeded the duration of the manufacturer's warranty, ExxonMobil warrants that the Mobil 1 Extended Performance lubricant you purchased will protect your vehicle's critical engine parts from oil related failure for 15,000 miles or 1 year, which ever comes first."

I did say to "Check it out". Listening is a skill too.

If you look at their nubmers for the EP and the regular M1, you'll have a very hard time showing any differences. I dont trust the M1 EP for THREE TIMES the inteveral of M1 as you suggest, do you? Look at the numbers. Not all that different. cheers! Mike

Did I say it was?

I'm not saying it's not great to run. It seems to be just as good as the rest. These are all top shelf oils and whether it be M1, Motul, Redline, or GC, it's all good. I like them all. I wouldnt run any one of them for three times the other though. That was the only point I meant to make. Didnt mean to insinuate anythign else. cheers! Mike

My post wasn't directed at you, but at the guy who won't go past 3k & it's good info for him.

i just wish that 15K mile warranty BS would be taken off the bottle as it applies to most but not us. I'd rather spend the extra $100 a year than deal with M1 trying to reimburse me for a motor that A0A has already sent sludge letters out on. cheers! mike
