Back at the end of July, I took Patty for LOF. Mileage at that time was 4988 with zero left in oil life. I know that the factory uses Pennzoil full synthetic at 0-40 weight.
The manual says full synthetic API doughnut type oil. We get five oil changes for five years compliments from the factory.
Pennzoil is the recommended brand for our vehicles, even if they (company) don't say it.
Okay, now Patty's mileage is 6347, and the oil life reads 75%. Driven 1,359 miles and at 75%???? WTF???
Something is not correct.
As for me, I'm a Mobile 1 full synthetic kind of guy and have been for many years. I used to get 10,000 miles before an oil change was needed. Sh*t, I've reached 15,000 a couple of times also.
Mobil 1 website that I looked up has no info for our vehicle. I did find 2 for Mobil 1, ESP, a European engine with 6.4 or newer Corvettes and Camaros that call for 0W-40 oil or FS for European engine 6.4 and Porches.
Before I rack my head against a wall to diagnose, my question is, what are you getting in mileage-wise before you need an oil change?
