High Mileage 6th Gens

In a 6 year frame too. That dude must be crazy haha. I have 107k miles on mine . I was at Walmart looking at Motor Oils and I was wondering which one should I use for my next change? Pennzoil 5W-20 Regular or Pennzoil 5W-20 High Mileage? The high mileage one is about an extra dollar per quart but I'm willing to spend that.

Oh yeah, I saw that but my car recently just got an oil change about 1k ago. My mechanic said that with the new oil he put in there I can perform a change ever 5k miles instead of 3k. I doubt he put Synthetic Oil in my motor as I only paid him about $20-$30 for the oil change. Should I trust him or should I just change it every 3k? And should I use the Pennzoil 5W-20 Regular or Pennzoil 5W-20 High Mileage?

The oil only needs to be changed every 3k miles if you want to support the oil companies. the 3k OCI's is a thing of the past. Dino oil can easily last more than 3k. Best thing to do is have your oil tested to see how often you need to change it.

I dont know how many times ive said this but Ill say it again. A general Rule of thumb has not changed. Every 3k change your oil. If you do this, im sure you will double the life of your engine.

that is the biggest myth in the industry. do your research and you will see that for 99% of us 3k is wasting good oil. 7500 is good for regular oil and i will argue 10k for full synthetic
