This is on an '05 5.4 Ford with conventional oil/Motorcraft 820S filter. Can I "stretch" the 3000 mile interval if I've got to add a quart and a half between (I've stretched it to 3500 miles since I've owned it) oil changes to 4,000 miles ? Thanks

3000 miles sounds like your own interval. What does your manual say? Most went to 5000miles/6 months before '05 I believe.

I run 5000 miles on everything.. Have since 1970.. The "NEWER" cars say 7500 miles in the manual.. I would not do that unless i was on the highway and adding up quick.. 5000 is a real good interval for most everything on Conventional oil.

5000 for Conventional, synthetic claimed it would go longer.

I ignore the miles and change it in the spring and fall when the weather is nice with synthetic oil.

In my '99 5.4 I run the Motorcraft synthetic blend and change at 5,000 mile intervals; 242K on the clock now. A lot of the service centers still add 3,000 to the odometer reading and it gets them more business.

On my 2000 I changed it every 5000 on the thousand, so when it was xx0,000 or xx5,000, I would change it. easy way to tell when it is due. I used conventional in it. On the 16 It changes at every 10.000 miles so that's an easy number to remember too. It uses full synthetic.

I think we got some old school thoughts here. As I recall my 2012 Ford is 7500 with the blend. NOW the wife's Toyota goes 10,000 or one year and it has a lifetime power train warranty. Oh yeah, Ford always puts a 3000 sticker on the windshield.

I had access years ago to oil sample analysis so used it, My '99 F250 7.3 diesel ended up at 5k intervals Religiously to when slowed usage became twice a year REGARDLESS spring and fall. Oil looked great as drained as may have only had 1800-3000 miles but acids build up and filtration does NOT remove or stabilize. Moisture buildup from sitting is the WORST for production of acidity on oils. My later autos have a built in miles against driving aspect calculators, our Exploder runs on average 4800 miles between as get to 30% remainder oil life, my Pimpala goes closer to 5500. Tractors are still generally twice per year both the last 7G and the 180 as well the little Deere Diesel mower.
The LP GMC had two oils changes while it lived here, one as bought it and one after rebuilt it as LP delivers next to no carbon to the oil pan. LP is dry and tends to not draw as much acid to the oil pan for some reason. I did start it at least monthly and run it around to keep fluids circulated.

The thing to look for when going over on oil changes intervals is how thin the oil actually gets - the manufactures have there specs along with oil, everyone bitches when the auto transmisions go out, but because no one pays attention to the manufacture specs on oil changes,, just my experince

We wait for the onboard computer to indicate when an oil change is needed.
On the Ford Explorer is will be approx. 5-6,000 miles On the little Honda CRV with 4 banger it will be before 5k. Wife used to have a Chev Impala, that would trip at just under 10,000 if using Mobil 1. If using any other brand of synthetic oil it would trip at about 8,500. My old Suburban with the TBI(no fancy puter) , get done every 5,000 all vehicles use full synthetic oil. |

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Nephews mother in law had an early 90’s? Bonneville. They stopped changing oil at 180k, hood seized at 240k so no fluids added or checked and drove til about 340k. (All miles)
I change diesel 7.3 trucks at 5k or spring and fall if not enough miles. 180 and 185’s annually, not regular use anymore. |

I change both my T/C's at 3,ooo M. My son who is an ace mechanic recommends the 3,000 m, intervals and use the oil that is is recommended by the car company. And the better oil filter you use is very important. Leon

I change the wife's Camry, daughters Camry, daughters Buick Regal and my 94 Chevy truck. So much easier to drag all the oil change stuff out at the same time. I do record the mileage and you are correct my truck might average 3000 between changes. Wife's car is around 6000. Other two about 5k. This works for me. |

Leon, ask your son about the Toyota program. Our Highlander is changed at the 10K or one year interval, and that is with a lifetime power train warranty.

The wife's last two Toyotas had this but I thought 10k miles was too many so I would change it at 5k then Toyota changed it at 10k and then me again at 15k and them at 20k. We tag teamed it. |
