so I am going to start running mobile 1 synthetic.... i have seen on the shelf the 15,000 oil...of mobile 1...does any one know any information about it that they could share...pros or cons...if it really works for 15,000...thanks

 

well they guarentee it for 15,000 miles but most filters will not last that long.

a wix filter will last 15,000 miles, whether you'd want to run this oil and filter that long is up to you

the oil i use is guarenteed that long but i still change it every 5000-7000 miles just to be safe

 

great that is what i was going to do...thanks for your help again...you all are just full of knowlege

 

That's why he's called "The Wiz."

Now Wiz, how do I get back to Kansas?[sm=smokin.gif]

 

just click you shoes together!! lol

 

it is known that as oil breaks down, it puts more wear and tear on gaskets. i change my oil every 4000-5000 KMs just to keep it clean... its simple, if oil is clean, it works well, keeps engines clean and leak free.

 

I would save your money and use conventional oil. Put the savings in a fund for an intake and head gasketrepair because by 80,000 miles you will need to one or both by then, especially in its a 3.8.

 

the intake and head gaskets rarely go on the 3.8's compared to the 3.4's and the 3.1's

the 3.8l engine barely has any problems with intake and head gaskets
