Many of the old hands on this board including myself have been saying FORGET these “OCM” systems and change your oil every 3000-4000 miles and you can’t go wrong…
It’s nice to see a manufacturer admit that “extended” oil change intervals can drastically reduce engine life, causing key components to wear faster than planned…
Planned failure is supposed to occur AFTER the warranty runs out, not before!!
Now, lets talk about 0W-20 oil when you’re tooling across Arizona in July, engine oil temperature moving north of 300 degrees…Are you really, really sure 10w-30 might not be a better choice??
0-20 oil left in for 12,000 miles might not be such a good idea after all…
