This guy knows nothing about oil changes.
Then has a *pikachu face when they shits blow up
Nah fr
"why does my engine burn oil?"
3k to 5k is pretty typical for oil changes. Just because you can go 7k doesn't mean you should. Some cars now say 10k, but I'll stick to 3k to 5k.
Ex Valvoline lube Tech and current dealer tech here.
Valvoline recommended 3k, dealer recommends 10k. Valvoline would notoriously hound on us for bumping the sticker milage up to dealer spec. They told us not to tell the customer (sorry the "guest") about different vehicles' recommended milage, they told us not to tell them vehicles can go further on Full Synthetic Oil (it is what allows for newer GM' and Toyota's specifically to go longer on oil changes), but would still have us tell people driving these vehicles they had to use our Full Synthetics.
In short: if you drive a 2015+ vehicle, then you can definitely go past 3k if you use OEM spec oil.
@@onescaryapothiconboi7475 yes you are correct, the newer vehicles can easily go for longer mileage. I'll tell you though, more frequent oil changes are always better on the engine. Even though the manufacturers say you can go longer and be safe, which is true, it's always better to change more frequent.
Oil is cheap, engines are expensive. Change the oil at 5000 or every 6 months.
You can do 7,500 and over if you’re not planning to keep your car over 100k. If you plan on keeping as long as possible, change it much much sooner. 5k max, even with good oil. Oil is cheap, new engines and cars are not.
7,500 miles means you’re pushing it 😂
Never heard of 3k changes lmao. I always changed at 5k
Conventional oil is 3k and full synthetic oil is 5k
Ohc engine lifters clog up if you don't change the oil every 3k miles
@@THEGREATCOUP No they don't
yall never owned foreigns and it shows
man hell no i change oil somone came in with they car after 3,000 miles and the oilf was dark as shit
False. Vehicles with full synthetic these days have tight oil specs and small oil channels... tight engine specs overall for highest EPA and emissions standards. 5,000 full synthetic on non turbos, 3,000 on twin or single turbo & 3,000 on supercharged. Synthetic blend on non turbo is 3,000 and 2,000 on twin/single turbo & supercharged. Finally conventional is 3,000 non turbo and 2,000 on single turbo/supercharged and 1,500 on twin turbo.
Oil changes are the most important preventative maintenance...if you really think you can go 7500 or even 10k between oil changes, Your knowledge of Cars and how they work are minimal. (Just like the guy in the video). But to each his own. Dont cry when your engine craps out on you.
My 2018 civic has an indicator system that tells when the oil needs to be changed so I just go by that
Heres the thing they do. Yes, they give you full synthetic, but the oil filter they use will only last 3000 miles.
I buy the 10k filters and use full synthetic. I still change my oil every 3-5k. Oil filters aren’t perfect, and driving practices vary. Those are all factors on how long your oil lasts
The scam is they don't use full synthetic or the right weight. They may not even change the oil at all and just say they did.
watch them while they change the oil bro
@@yanz_77 And taste the oil too or something? How do you know what oil they are using?
@@clarkkent1521 well in my country there’s shell official store. just come there. easy
@@clarkkent1521 well in my country, there’s shell official store. just come there when you want to change oil. easy
@@clarkkent1521u must be sped or some shit, cuz if youve gotten your oil changed at valvoline and ur engine didnt lock up after 30 mins of driving, then theres engine oil, and if ur smart enough to pull ur dipstick, them u can see if the oil is new or not, fucktard
If you know that much info do your own oil change, most of the recommendations for oil change intervals are because they are using conventional oil
Uhhhhh 3k is just the general recommendation for all cars, at Valvoline it’s the mileage we can guarantee the oil to be good in for every car, it’s up to you to listen to it or not
This is B.S. ask any technician and they’ll say otherwise. Stick with 3-5k depending on city or highway driving and no more
As someone that specializes in engine lubricants and filtration all that 10k+ oil change interval talk is a bunch of nonsense I’ll tell yall the same thing we tell our customers believe the label if you want but saving those couple dollars by pushing an oil change back is gonna cost you more in the long run when it end up in our shop for major servicing🤷🏼♂️ oil changes are cheaper than engine swaps
True but make sure you’re regularly checking your oil … 7500 miles or not if the motor burns oil you’ll be running it low on oil and then untold damages may occur
He's wrong. Engine can burn a quart of oil in 2000 miles!
My car revs to 7000rpm too dosnt mean im ever gunna go there👍
Mine goes there daily lol
@@shkkrimp7344insert meme. I don’t always hit the Rev limiter, but when I do I bounce 3-4 times.
The biggest oil change scam I’ve seen is charging the customer for it but never actually doing it.
That's like me saying YOU COULD EAT only 700 calories a day if u tried . doesn't mean it's good for you
True about modern oil lasting longer, but shops don't make all that much on oil changes. Doing it yourself is close in cost with most shops, they're mostly to see if anything is up with the car to recommend repairs to the customer.
6k or every 5-6 months. Honda recommends every 10k. Most of those engines now have sludge and get a engine every 150k. Source? When applying for a Honda tech about 5 years ago the techs told me I’ll be doing a lot of engines bc of this.
It’s not when you should come in for another oil change it’s when you can come in and get it topped off for free as well as other fluids
Depends on how you drive, if your in the city redlining it light to light better stick to what they recommend buddy. If your cruising on the freeway like a granny most of the time yeah 7000 is the limit
Most dealers and places are starting to do 10k mile interval recommendations. As an ex lube tech I’ll tell you, going over 5k regularly on oil changes does make a difference. I do mine every 5k and have no troubles
3000 miles or 6 months doesn't matter the vehicle. oil changes are cheaper than a new engine. unless you have a Hyundai or Kia then you're just screwed
No one says this is when you should get the next oil change, many shops run that as the bare minimum as when to remind the customer, also all shops will say if you ask “this our standard set with all the manufacturers, but we recommend you always fallow what your manufacturer recommends”
& that's why yall won't keep the same car for 20+ years. 5k is the sweetspot. I have a 24 corolla that's recommended at 10k but fuck that
Absolutely not. 7500 is a good way to blow your motor.
That's um ehhh depends on the car and the condition of the car via miles age and brand
Same type of guy that wonders why his engine ticks
Synthetic 5k conventional 3k or 6 months
No. Never go past 5k. No.
5k get an oil change. End of story.
-been a lube technician for a year-
Conventional oils are build to last 3,000
Synthetic blends~ 3-5,000 depending on additives (high mileage synthetic blends last longer)
And full synthetics last 5k-10,000 miles with high mileage oil and Mobile1 being the high end of the spectrum
The real ripoff is people buying “manufacturer made” oil as its just mobile1 rebranded and marked up. The only reason why oil change shops print a sticker for 3k is because it’s a good idea to get the oil at least inspected. 3k city mileage is way different than 3k highway mileage in terms of stress on your vehicle
I’ve seen what happens to the canister filters if you go 7500 miles. Lol. If you think it’s a scam change your own damned oil. Yeah, you can go 7500-10,000 miles if you are constantly driving in ideal driving conditions meaning absolutely no stop and go, and all highway miles. Otherwise you’re driving most likely in extreme driving conditions year round, requiring the oil to be changed if it very dirty at 3,000 miles or 5,000. Also has a lot to do with your driving habits. So I promise it’s not a scam.
Well…. If the mechanic actually says to “get your oil change in 3k miles”, then yes, it’s a scam. But typically those are just REMINDERS to keep in your head.
Every manufacturer recommends a different oil change interval. Most shops will add a sticker for industry standard being 3000miles/5000km.
10k miles is so that your engine blows up and you buy another car 😂
Yeah, hi, dealership advisor here. We make MAYBE $10 off of you after everything is said and done… if anything it’s more of a pain in the ass to do your oil change and not worth the hassle to us. Where we make our money is if shit needs replacing or if somethings needs to be repaired.
10000kmters semi 12milkmts full sintetic thats all and check your level song
Thought I was the only one thinking 7500 is a lil push towards lazy/can’t do it but I’d say 5000 is ok
That's a great way to cause more problems down the road but go on about how they try to scam you
The scam is thinking you can go that long and then u gotta pay for bigger repairs lol dud has no clue what he's talking about
i just wait till the car tell me 😂
You let the car tell you get ready to get another engine😂.
@@2seep right! reading what she wrote... just made me cringe deep inside
5k is the magic number.. this is coming from one of few Americans left with a brain 🤷🏼♂️
Not so fast. You're scamming people into burning thier parts into the ground.
Honestly changing your oil every 3-5k is going to be way better for your engine
Used to work for Valvoline, we go by manufacturer specs, so in reality the dealers are scamming you, but I mean Valvoline is hella expensive so yeah they are too lmao
I love my vehicles I'll stick to 3k miles
No….The stickers are your “Topoff stickers” the mileage in the sticker is when you should come in for a topoff then the next sticker is for ur actual oil change
No. The sticker is for an oil change. If it's the proper time between oil changes your oil will still be full and there is nothing to top off.
If your oil isnt full after 3000 miles your car is either burning oil or leaking
5k is recommended.
Many people don't even change their brakes let alone their oil lol, be safe out there
5k is the farthest I'll go, 7500 is a little too much.
3000 is the standard for conventional oil changes because there are no wear additives in it and it degrades much quicker under high temperature. Its 3000 or 3 months which ever comes first. But under an honest technicians rule book its always performed if its approved by the customer. The customer is not obligated by no circumstance to get it done. Its not a scam its an upsell. Take it for what it is!
Ha ha 3k is a cheap price to pay for insurance . 7.5 k by the time the qear and tear adds up you out of warranty. Even if you dont drive 3 k after 6 mths change the oil.
I go to 5k ish
I still change mine at 3k maybe 4 sometimes treat your motor like the hot girl in class
Wrong max 7 thousand. 5 is the earliest you should come back. I work at an oil changers. 3k is for synth blend, (regular)
5 thousand is the most you should go not the earliest you should come back
4-5k
A car that doesn't need an oil change at 7500 is a scam lol you would need a new engine after the first year with those intervals...
A Porsche needs an oil change every 15,000 miles. Audi needs an oil change every 10,000 miles.
@@PhotoLabMP well those are high quality cars with high quality engines. There was one guy we had come in who did 10,000 mi oil changes on a Toyota Camry thinking since it's a Toyota it won't hurt it. He ended up locking his engine doing that after a whole year!
@myRACEisAdiscrace I call bs. Unless its an older yota. Newer Toyota's specifically ones that use the synthetic 0W20, 0W16 and 0W8 all recommend 16000Km intervals. Ive seen lots of Ubers, taxi's that follow that same interval and are still running strong even at 200k km's.
@@josemalinao1308 I've seen a newer Toyota already locked up because the customer decided to do 10,000 mile oil change interviews instead of 5000. I do all my oil changes every 3000 mi regardless of their new or old... Oil burns and if it burns enough it turns into sludge
@@myRACEisAdiscracenah they still need 5k oil intervals. It’s higher so you engine blows up quicker after warranty so then you buy another car 😂
so tired of mfs tellen me this THETS BECAUSE FREE TOP OFF POLICY im not trying to give your money to mr lube
Im a technician that is the max it’s rated but you should never push it the limited it is 5k for synthetic and 3k for synthetic blend , conventional
Most engines are turbo charged and port injection. This guy engine will have soup in it m
What ?!! No don’t give this advice take this down you’re misleading . 7500k miles is good IF you got a newer car and IF you or the previous owner of the car changed it every 7k miles . However that’s the absolute limit you should change it every 3k miles especially if you can spare the $.
Wow so cringe
JESUS CHRIST IS GOD AMEN
✝️🙏🗡👑
This is a problem only for broke ppl 😂
😂🎉😅🤡🌎
Alright so even the right number is still exaggerated. The correct mileage to change synthetic oil is at 6,000 miles. It kills me that no one actually looks at these numbers right on either side of the field but that’s the undereducated for ya 🤷♂️ Now you all know 😅
Wrong it’s 5000 miles for synthetic and 6000 if not driven often….
Ok then Go change your oil with someone else
Imagine someone who, maybe, hasn't tighten a lug nut in his life giving advice on oil change 😂😂😂
