The manufacturers say change the oil every 3000 miles (or whatever), the oil commercials say it is good up to 100,000 miles, split the difference is what I say.

My last vehicle did have a bit of a valve train knock though…
- joecool1029 4y agoModern synthetic oils can be run for longer intervals with regular filter changes in most vehicles. The 100k claims are on very specific circumstances by a few manufacturers. The valve hydraulic lifter noise can usually be shut up by using a high detergent oil (I use Rotella t6 in vehicles that do it).
