For a SOHC ,d-series,16 v,should i renew oil and filter every 6000miles(10.000kms)?more or less? Lets think for example for Mobil-1,0-40w,does it make more miles?thanks... by the way here ,summer is almost start and temperatures in day goes to 35ēCelsius

 

For every car I've owned, I try to change every 3000 miles or so. But, I think Honda (I can't remember where I saw this) says every 6000 miles. So, I dunno. I'd say aim for every 3-4000 to be on the safe side...keep your motor happy.

 

i change it every 3000. i mean oil isnt that expensive and it only takes 15-20 mins to do. i figure why not seeing as how it give me something to do. also, if you use a synthetic oil it is recommended that you change it more frequently as it breaks down quicker.

 

I was thinking about switching to synthetic...good idea?

 

why not, couldnt hurt. if i may make a suggestion, GTX redline, thats what i use, though, its kind of hard to find, i had to call a couple places first until i found some at NAPA.

 

Ok, cool...thanks.

 

The 6000 mile interval is for light usage, which means that if you drive your car every day and have to deal with traffic lights, then you pretty much aren't in the light usage category. I try to change mine around 3000 give or take.

 

Synthetic oil breaks down quicker?
