My pushmower is 11 years old. I've never changed the oil. It's fine

I change my oil every six months irrespective of mileage use cheaper oil and filter no problems after ten years toyota yaris ❤❤

I change my engine oil every 3000 miles, transmission fluid, engine coolant and brake fluid every 50k miles. Doing this means all of the cars I've owned the past 30 years have lasted for 300k-500k miles.

In high school, I bought an old Chevy S10 with the 2.2L 4 cylinder from an AMSOIL dealer. It had 370,000 miles on it when I got it. The truck was beat up but he swore how good it still ran and drove. I continued to run AMSOIL oil and filters for 15k mile intervals like he claimed. We pulled the valve cover off of it in auto class and it looked pretty clean. I sold it running 5 years later with 490k miles! That’s how I decided to be an AMSOIL dealer. The oil sold me.

3k PERIOD Anything longer is 💯 BS, this guy is wrong!

Oil starts to breakdown at 2k miles so 5k on normal aspirated engines and 3K on turbo engines would be the best practices and preventative maintenance.

Know someone who bought a decent quality SUV last year. But they never had it serviced since they bought it. Now the engine is shot cause the timing chain jumped. Oil IS cheap, engines are expensive.

6,000-7,500 seems to be about where I’ll be at

But keep a eye on oil levels

My engine oil was still clear with a green tint at 5000!love it

I use shaeffers supreme 9000.engine loves it

U use a good oil and under oil analysis can u extend ur oil change

Make a lot of sense .

Excellent video and explanation. Much appreciated.

Buy a well-built car, use high quality synthetic oil and change oil and filter every 3000 miles. The car will last 300,000. Change your transmission fluid at least every two years. More often if you drive long distances or use vehicle in a lot of city driving conditions.

I have 2017 Hyundai Elantra SE, When I got the car, within the first year had a misfire, 2 year a misfire. So I changed Spark plugs and coils, it turned out, before I got it had a misfire because had1 wrong coil. Changed the spark plugs and coil around 40k miles. The year make and model is known to have misfire issues.

Every day if your wife is good with it 😂

Speak LOUDER!

Mike great video your explanation is bare bones and simple for some of the uninitiated in how automobiles function. I’d love to see more videos on your CZcams channel!

this video passed absolutely no information.

guy, you need to get a microphone. cant hear a thing your saying.

Thanks!

800,000 miles using cheap dino oil and cheap filters at 4k miles change interval. No wear related engine issues. Wifey's Audi (2.0T) using synthetic and 4k mile change interval, HPFP and lifter complete failure at 105k miles. Audi...never again!

One good example: one car manufacturer advertises 20.000 km between services as a marketing thing. Why? Because here maybe 75% of new vehicles are obtained through leasing. The leasing companies seek the longest service intervals to minimize costs and boosting profits. When you connect the scanner for a service reset, it shows up as Marketing mileage!!! The result: dead engines with 90-100.000 km. I see it all the time at the shop.

In my base model Pontiac i changed the oil every 3-4K with the cheapest oil that was on sale. I got 263K before I traded it in. No engine issues. The transmission was done. My Cadillac with the turbocharger gets full synthetic and a 5K oil change interval. All done by myself. I know that the dealers likely use re-refined recycled oils in bulk, as well as non OEM filters

Just need a new form of energy other than fossil fuels because price od fossil fuels are just going to keep going up till it's to expensive to buy because fossil fuels will eventually run out it's not unlimited energy its is limited there is a end to fossil fuels

Engines are cheap, and oil is expensive. No wait, that's not it.

Every 6 months?

Are they forcing you to do this video?

Good oil is not expensive , change it every 5 to 7 thousand miles it is the best Food you can give the engine , A horse should have quality Grass an engine should have quality OIL , Horse Power .

The quality of motor oil in the US is absolute trash. Often used oil is filtered and just put back in during oil changes. This is a US problem and explains the obsession Americans have about oil changes. American engines also have significant problems with blow by resulting in early oil degradation. In Europe oil changes are done annually during the scheduled service and usually between 8 and 12 thousand miles. Engines have tighter tolerances and even during the annual service the oil often looks barely discoloured. Most the oils are designed to be fine over 20,000 miles but If I did high mileages I would change mine after 15,000 just as a precaution.

My tugboat has a old 398 cat diesel that holds 75 gallons of oil. So I do oil analysis. But generally all do oil filters at 500 hours then a complete oil change at 1000. Oil analysis can tell you a lot about the health of your oil and engine.

I change my oil servicing every six to eight thousands Porsche 981 Mobil 1

Oil is cheap compared to engine repairs. I do premium quality full synthetic 5w30 and factory GM filter every 3k. Been doing this my entire life and my engines seem to last forever.

I change every 10.000 now am on 360.000 and all original no problem fiat punto JTD

Know This: You can NEVER change oil in ANYTHING too often. All it will cost you is a little extra $$. Not changing it often enough will cost you $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Your Choice. !

I change my oil only ever with OEM BMW oil + filter once a year (~4000 miles for me). Oil changes are cheap. Engines are expensive.

If mechanics are honest it's would be stupid to diy or not taking your car to the shop 3 times a year

I do every 5k or 6 months which ever comes sooner. I recently retired and ordered a 2024 BRZ; with this car since I drive less I will still do every 6 months (even though I only drive about 5k per year).

I use Amsoil Signature and go 10k with a new filter at 5k ...

Ehhh screw the oil change just buy a new car every time engine goes out it's the American way of thinking

Modern engines need more maintenance, not less if you want it to last. 3000 miles or 6 months using full synthetic (doesn't matter the brand)

What is the expected life expectancy for turbo in a four cylinder engine?

Dealerships/Manufacturers want to get you through the warranty period then they want you to buy a new car. Look at the lifetime transmission fluid some manufacturers are doing. That should tell all you need to know.

I’ve been changing my oil every 5k but now going to every 3k.

Probably a good video but I can't hear it.

Possibly the worst volume level of any video I've watched on youtube.

Had to have them all replaced because the batteries were dead. I was stunned and angered to find out Honda had put a system on my car that had batteries inside the tires. And it cost nearly $1000 for replacement. Now the light turns on at 29. Spec for car tire pressure is 31. The trigger is too close. The trigger is supposed to be at 2/3 standard pressure which would be about 22psi. That's where it was when the car was new with the original sensors. So the sensors need to be calibrated. My Honda 2010 CRV apparently has no method to calibrate. Several garages, tire companies, and even the dealer haven't got a clue. All the methods in the literature require pushing an INFO button. Mine doesn't have one. Or go into a menu on the radio. Again, not on the OEM Map Navi head unit that came with my car. Then they talk about two buttons on the dash panel. I only have one. I inflate the tires to 31psi exactly on a warm afternoon when I get home. The next morning it's slightly colder and the TPMS light turns on. This is ridiculous. My only choice is to pump the tires up to 35psi which is 4 above spec. So now my tires wear in the middle. I have become an anti-fan of the TPMS. The more research I have done the more I have found that the costs of the TPMS vastly outweigh any safety it adds. Nor does it improve MPG enough to pay for the system and it's upkeep. In fact for my tests of tire pressure versus MPG I have found no measurable difference even when I deflate all tires to 20psi. A general rule of thumb of the EPA is that for every 10k$ spent on safety it needs to result in saving an average of one life. Because for every 10k$ taken out of the economy on average one extra person dies prematurely. For example: If the statistical risk of death for some activity is 100 people. And you spend 100 x 10k$ on a safety protocol then you only break even and the same number of people die. If you spend 100 x 20k$ on a safety protocol then you actually kill twice as many people than you otherwise would have lost.

I just bought a 2020 MDX. I've heard they consume oil. I haven't noticed it it 500 miles. I will be changing oil with the synthetic every 3000 miles. Just in case. Such a nice vehicle!

I change my oil every 3 thousand
