Hey guys, did not want to create another thread as I have similar question.
My honda accord 2003 4 cyl gets mobil1 5w20 oil with mobil1 m1 110 filter every 6 months. I follow severe scedule which is 5000 miles( 8000 kms) or 6 months which ever is earlier.
As I do not do 8000kms in 6 months I just get oil change every 6 months. But I think.I am.wasting oil and my time doing this.
My driving habits are monday to friday short trips 5 to 10 kms sometimes in.Manitoba winters too however I make it a point to drive the car for 30 to 40 kms in.a single trip on weekend.
My question to you expert is that by this habit I think oil accumulate moisture fro monday to friday but doesn't it get evaporated on weekend long drive . So do I still risk loosing additive packs.
I tend to do 8000 kms every 10 months. By driving the car 40 kms in.a single trip once a week will the oil stay good?
Oh yes and the car burns oil so I add half qt oil once every 2 months or so.
What do you think? Engine protection is top priority , money is non issue.
