transverse you said 3500 to 4000 you change your oil. Do you use synthetic oil and change that often.
I ask this because I put A lot of miles on my car and that is why I started to use synthetic . I thought there was A
higher milage between oil changes.

yeah just go ahead and change the oil at 3000 to 5000 depending on the amount of cash avaliable. one thing i do is i have a funnel that has a wire screen and ill drain my oil like once a week and put it back in to it runs through that filter

My driving is mostly highway. 10K mi. in 7 months. The Mobil 1 0W-40 can handle temperatures over 400 degrees F. The highest I've seen the oil temp. is 225. During the first 50K Audi changed with mineral oil every 10K. I'm not telling those with Mods. to do the same.
