The current oil in my Honda Del Sol is old and when I say old.... I mean Ive had this oil in the car before I ever met my girlfriend got to know each other and dated for 2 years. The oil is on the cusp of 3 years old. I just made a joke with her when she got her oil changed that Ive had a much longer relationshipo with my oil than her. Ok now back to the oil. Ive had this oil in my car since 2012 and its good oil, Pennzoil Ultra 5w20. The original idea was 1 year or 7,500 miles. Well after the first year it wasnt even close to that, less than 3,000. I got into motorcycles and the car was forgotten for the most part. The car gets a lot more driven these days but strictly highway trips. Never city and NEVER short trips. After 2 years it wasnt even still at 7,500 miles. Mmmmk well Im gunna finish my OCI regardless of time. After I had surpassed the 7.5k OCI I thought well if Honda originally wants that on dino well this being Penz Ultra I can easily make this a 10k. Now Im on the cusp of 10k by about 150miles. Obviously after this amount of time and miles Im going to change the oil. Is this something that you guys on BITOG would consider crazy to do or would have done the same thing? Ive popped off my valve cover and it looks very pretty with this same oil. This is the only time Ive ever done an oil change of this craziness and probably never will again lol.
