[QUOTE="scott degroot, post: 964426, member: 66039"] Personally I think that 7500 miles is the max I would run synthetic oil. I get a kick out of all the European mfgs that suggest 13,000-15,000 mile oil changes...I guess no one has ever seen the inside of a BMW motor that has had its oil changed every 15k...it ain't pretty. VW motors aren't much better and don't get me started on the MB engines. Ford recommends I change the oil on my Edge every 7500 but I do it at 5000 and use Fords recommended oil. Ultimately it comes down to whatever you want to do but IMO 5000 miles is the magicial number no matter what kind of oil you are using on a modern day engine [/QUOTE]
