I think 90% of what it says on the container is marketing. Why would it matter if you had 10,000 or 100,000 miles on your car to use a different oil? It would seem logical that a good oil would cover you in both situations, and there isn't really anything you can put in oil to make it better for a 10,000 mile motor opposed to a 100,000 mile motor. That's just how I feel, though.


Castrol and NGK for me. ;)

no steve...the oil is good for 15000 miles, meaning not needed to be changed for 15000 miles. not "there is 15000 miles on the car, use this oil" (if i am understnading you correctly)

and i will post those pictures when i get home. ;)

I wonder how much more it cost though? so basically change the oil filter and leave the oil

well i think most people change there oil prematurely anyways, i know of people that run mobil one up to 8k miles, i always change mine at 3k but most oil is rated to last longer than 3k, Even though its good for 15k miles i dont think i would ever run my oil past 5k.

To those that say why use synthetic over regular oil, there is a noticeable diffrence with synthetics.

mobil 1 is one of the only 2 or 3 oil brand that is real synthetic oil..opposed to Castrol...
