Hey Folks!
I wanted to snag an opinion on my most recent sample on a "new-to-me" '07 CR-V. The historical samples are more to the Right, but I'm most interested in the Left data column. I didn't change my oil at this 6,045 mile sample and am approaching 7,500 miles on that same Valvoline HM Syn 0w-20. I can sample at 7,500 miles, but was curious what everyone's thoughts were about changing at 7,500 or continuing until 8, 8.5, 9k, etc.
I travel mostly highway, with little stop and go (300ish miles) and slow off-road to access camping/climbing/mountain bike spots (
Thoughts??
