ChromaticAngel 05/03/17 11:37:52 AM #9:	iosifsvoboda posted... Lmao they aren't arbitrary intervals XD They are arbitrary based on averages. lowest grade conventional oil for example is good for on average 4000 miles. They tell you to change it every 3000 miles to try and stop people from blowing up their engines becauset their oil was below the 4000 mile average in longevity. In addition to miles driven, oil goes bad over time. Even if you have 0 miles on your car for 9 months, when you start it up again, the first thing you will probably want to do is get the oil changed. --- https://puu.sh/tcLsT/24f4611235.png <cite>ChromaticAngel posted [p:878393709] in 15000 mile...

YonicBoom 05/03/17 12:38:02 PM #15:	I wouldn't trust any engine to go 15k between oil changes, but not because I don't trust the oil. For one, oil filters are a major limiting factor. Even the best ones I would not trust for 15k. Also, many engines, even brand new, consume oil at a rate that makes a 15k oil change a foolish idea. 7.5k sounds more reasonable. I do mine every 5k, but I drive an old turbocharged car so I err on the side of caution. --- RIP TurboAE86 (19XX-2017) - No amount of Scrotal Googling could find him peace in this mortal world.

You do NOT need to worry about going back to conventional. Ive done it several times, and there is no concrete 'proof' that going back to conventional is a 'bad thing.' Especially since most synthetic oils, except a few select class IV oils, are actually just higher refined conventional. I don't know. I prefer to rely on the word of unrelated but qualified mechanics instead of someone who didn't even understand a stupid video that explains how to check if the oil is burned or not. And I prefer to actually know how oils work and that oil cannot be determined to be 'good or bad' by a simple visual test. You have to test the components of the oil through analysis. Well I hope you like wasting your money sending oil through a stupid lab analysis that is completely unneeded and that will yield the exact same results you could get by sticking to the instructions and using your eyes to see. --- Live to train.

You can have oil made from unicorn tears made to last 50,000 magical adventure miles, but if you put in a three dollar filter and expect it to keep up with the oil, you're gonna have a bad time. And as for the conventional to synthetic and back, there's no real harm aside from having two oils with different longevities working in your engine. The anti foam, detergents and other additives just can't keep up with those found in synthetics, and you lose the benefits from higher quality lube.

Where is your 'proof?' In your own source: First, color doesn’t necessarily mean anything. Oil can be very, very dark (black even) and still be effective. However, as a general rule: New, clean oil is amber in color As engine oil gets darker, it can indicate a) high heat, b) contaminants, or c) the presence of additives that cause the oil to darken during normal use. Therefore, the best way to determine what color your oil should be is to observe how your oil changes color over time. Just pull the dipstick every few days, make a mental note, and at some point you’ll learn to “read” your engine’s oil by color, i.e. you may find that your oil starts to look dark brown after 3,000 miles, and very dark brown after 5,000.

YonicBoom 05/03/17 2:02:22 PM #44:	Time to dispel myths and shit in here - Oil changing to dark colors quickly isn't bad, it just means it's doing its job - Exceptions to the rule are pretty much limited to it looking like chocolate milk (water+oil mixture) - Switching between conventional and synthetic is fine. Synthetics tend to clean out gunk that might be hiding leaks in older engines, so that's why that myth started. However, certain engines really should run synthetic oil only due to higher heat and whatnot (turbo engines for example) as they don't break down as quickly as conventional oils. That's not to say you can't run conventional in them, but it just won't last long. - Certain specialty cars/engines have different unspoken requirements for oil and maintenance. Example - Wankel Rotary engines should not have Synthetic oil because it resists combustion and can lead to undue wear/carbon build up in the engine, since it burns oil by design. - Subarus should have their oil changed more often time-wise due to their Boxer engine being laid out flat. Ever hear of Subarus blowing head gaskets all the time? Not all of the oil drains down into the oil pan when the car is shut off due to its flat design, and old oil is more acidic than fresh. Letting that old oil stay pooled up on the head gaskets wears them away silently and one day... kaboom. This isn't the only reason they die, but it's the main one that nobody talks about. Not a problem if you change that oil ever 3 months or so, but the people who put 5000 miles on their oil over the course of 6 months see these failures more often. --- RIP TurboAE86 (19XX-2017) - No amount of Scrotal Googling could find him peace in this mortal world.
