Oil Drain Interval Recommendations by Vehicle Brand
While the 3,000-mile drain interval has long been the
standard, the evolution of motor oils and vehicle systems makes that
recommendation obsolete. General Motors installs an oil life monitoring system
in most of its vehicles that typically
prescribes oil changes at about 8,500 miles, and many other companies are
following suit. The European automotive and
lubricant industries have been recommending extended oil drain intervals for
many years, with the minimum being about 10,000
miles, and much longer intervals becoming the norm for European vehicles. Acura:

Automakers’ recommended oil drain intervals have been
steadily increasing, with a 7,500-mile interval gradually becoming the
industry standard. According to a recent article in Automotive News, vehicle
manufacturers credit the extended drain
capabilities to improved vehicle quality and longer-lasting synthetic motor oil.
The trend toward extended recommended engine
oil drain intervals further validates the position of AMSOIL.
AMSOIL has been formulating extended-drain motor oils for
over 35 years, longer than any other company. All that experience
has allowed AMSOIL to formulate the most technically-advanced line of synthetic
motor oils available. AMSOIL XL Synthetic
Motor Oils provide superior protection for 7,500 miles or six months, or longer
where indicated by electronic oil life
monitoring systems, making them perfect for contemporary drain intervals. They
are fuel-efficient oils formulated with
friction modifiers to reduce energy loss from friction. AMSOIL XL Synthetic
Motor Oils maintain low emissions and provide
all temperature performance. They are heavily fortified with
detergent/dispersant additives and are significantly more
resistant to sludge and carbon deposits than conventional oils. AMSOIL XL
Synthetic Motor Oils promote clean operation for
longer-lasting, better-running engines.
For motorists who are looking for the best protection
possible for even longer drain intervals, AMSOIL offers several motor oils with
recommended drain intervals of 25,000 miles or one year. | 0W-20 | 0W-30 |
