Re: Mobil 1 for how long??



    I have been changing every 3,000 miles, new filter, new Mobil 1.  I know
Mobil 1 can go much further, but I have noticed on the 3k changes the oil is
always quite dark.  I keep the rpms quite high because of my 3 speed
autobox.  On the highway sometimes I'll stay at 5,000rpm for an hour, tough
on an engine and the oil.  So I am going to stick with 3,000 mile intervals.
Winter is coming too, I switch to 5w-30 Mobil 1 from regular 10w-30.  Helps
on start up considerable, in my car that is, not sure if it has helped
anyone else out on those VT. -10F morns.
