[QUOTE="cobracide, post: 16722477, member: 4644"] Depends on the manufacturer. A big part of Synthetic oil is the additives. Each manufacturer uses a unique set of additives and are considered "trade secrets". Following the manufacturer interval recommendations is a good ideal, generally. Blackstone is not privy to each manufacturer's trade secret additives and their specifications. Although very helpful, I would be skeptical that Blackstone is the end all be all to synthetic oil analysis that have complex additives. Driving your car for say less than 10 miles a day not on the highway, this can actually shorten your oil lifetime. In this case, your engine likely isn't heating up to a temperature high enough to boil off condensation that accumulates in the system, and therefore your oil can break up more quickly and need replacement often. In such cases, it may be a good idea to change your oil sooner than your rated mileage recommendations. Yes, including synthetics. [/QUOTE]
