Car tells me to change the oil every 10k. In the past on my 00 Z28 I was running German Castro 0W30. I haven't kept up on oil news since then.
Is it better to use extended synthetics and do 10k OCI or regular synthetic and do 7.5k OCI?
Please recommend oil and filter for your chosen interval.
For 10k OCI I was thinking Mobil 1 EP and Mobil 1 EP filter. I don't know what the equivalent of this is for other brands.
For 7.5k OCI I would get Mobil 1 or Castrol Edge and PureOne filter. I've done a lot of searching on here and there are so many choices it's confusing. I commute 60miles one way to work so I'd rather do longer OCI.
I read that even though 5W20 is recommended I should use 0W20 year round.
BTW I don't mind paying a little more within reason. Priority is for the car to last to 200k and maybe more. It has 40k now.
Thanks in advance.
