I have a 10-year old V6 Honda Accord with 225K miles. I use the 1/2 real, and 1/2 synthetic oil. So how many miles can I go before I change the oil?
BTW, my Honda Accord gives me NO problems after nearly a quarter of a million miles. The only thing I have had to do is change a timing belt, and the regular maintenance.How many miles can I go before I change oil synthetic blend?I know it sounds simple, but I think the correct answer is, %26quot;When it gets dirty%26quot;. A lot depends on how well filtered your oil is, how hard you drive, what kind of shape your piston rings are in, the gasoline and additives you might be using (or what's included in the gasoline). Just because synthetics are tough and long lasting, does not mean that they can't get too dirty and cause problems as a result. For my truck, that's between 3,000 and 4,000 miles. When in doubt, pull out the dipstick and lay it on a paper towel. You'll see what I mean.How many miles can I go before I change oil synthetic blend?Do not fall for that every 3000 mile, BS. 15 years ago, Consumer Report did a test using a fresh rebuilt fleet of New York city cabs. Even they did not need oil changes more than 6000 miles. Mobile One advertises 15000 mile interval. Amsoil has 25000 miles or 1 year. Longer if you add a special filter system and test it every year. Amsoil's cheapest synthetic is designed for 7500 miles which is what many new car manufactures recommend under ideal conditions. I would stick with 6 or 7000 miles with that blend. Did you know that the only real synthetic oils are Mobil One and Amsoil? The others start out with petroleum base and chemically modify it. Does that sound like a real synthetic? Of course that is according to the %26quot;petroleum%26quot; manufactures group.How many miles can I go before I change oil synthetic blend?Well this advice comes direct from a UK site which is a Major manufacture for many of the well known synthetic motor oils. Here you can find out all you need to know about synthetic oils, ask question's %26amp; so much more.
I would not go to www.honda.co.uk because they you can beat they will recommend there own synthetic oil %26amp; you can be sure it will cost you far more.
As for the AA %26amp; RAC or Society of Motor manufacturers well you will find nothing but biased advice there.
This site below is factual, free, un - biased, even if you can't find the answer you need you can post a message %26amp; they will email you back, no cost!How many miles can I go before I change oil synthetic blend?You would want to replace your oil about every 3,500 miles since your car has high mileage. good luck
