Hi All,
Got a 3500 mi rt road trip coming up in 3 weeks. I'm sitting on 107,450 mi. and the oil change interval I strive to maintain is every 10,000 miles. Next OC due at 110,000.
I'm not going to be close to 110,000 mi. by the time I leave on my trip, but will probably be close to 112,000 miles upon my return.
My quandry: Change oil when I return from the trip, or change oil early @ around 108,800 miles before I leave?
Using Mobil 1 TDT 5w-40. Blackstone has mentioned on my UOAs that I could safely take my OC intervals out to 15,000 mi. Am I pushing it going to a 15 mi. OCI, or play it safe and change oil and filter prior to my trip?
