🔍Scientific test shows that 10,000 mile oil changes are safe for highway driving.
🔧Toyota 1.8 liter engine with regular Mobile 1 oil was used in the test.
🚗The engine had 130,000 trouble-free miles, demonstrating the effectiveness of 10,000 mile oil changes.
💦The oil analysis showed low wear metals and active additives, confirming the oil's good condition.
🔬Oil analysis recommends extending the oil change intervals even further.
Are 10,000 mile oil changes suitable for all driving conditions?
—No, 10,000 mile oil changes are more suitable for highway driving with low-stress situations rather than stop-and-go or short trips.
What oil brand and viscosity was used in the test?
—Mobile 1 0W-20 oil was used in the test, which is a standard oil for this Toyota engine.
