The schedule on my leased vehicle is stretched out further per oil change than a local garage suggests (15,000km vs 5,000km).
- mcguire 4y agoA lot of mechanics still use the old recommendation of 5,000km/3,000miles while modern vehicles and modern oils mean that doing that is wasting resources.
- rasz 4y agoHAHAHA Its only a waste of resources if you plan to have the car for 3 years and then swap to another new lease, perpetually 'owning nothing and being happy'. Same deal with "lifetime" sealed transmission oil. Its lifetime all right, 100K miles of it.
- mcguire 4y agoErr... I've been using the manufacturer's recommended (extended) oil change intervals since, well, when did Ford introduce the "bubble" Taurus design? Mid-1990s? I've been using the vehicle's "oil-change-ometer" since I first got a vehicle with it, which means 10-15K mile intervals for me. Admittedly, that is a small sample of 4 vehicles (said Taurus, 2 Ford F150s, and the 2002 'Vette I used to use for commuting). I've never had an oil-related failure. And before you ask, yes, they're all high-mileage; for a while I was doing 25,000 miles/year.
