DISCLAIMER: I do know that both the search button and google are my friends- just hoping to get some real time (2nd generation MDX related) feedback on this heavily beaten topic....
SO i came across the following:
Quick-lube chains say 3,000 miles, auto manufacturers recommend 5,000 to 7,500 miles and synthetic oil companies, 10,000. How often do you really need to change the oil in your car?...
For the majority of my 2009 MDX's life, I've been using Mobil 1 5W20 synthetic engine oil (along with a FRAM brand ultra synthetic oil filter)- having my local stealership change the oil about every 3000 miles- is that too FREQUENT?
how important is the time factor-if I only put on 1000 miles in 3 months- can I wait an additional 3 months or (until I've driven more miles) before having the oil changed out again?...are there any real negative consequences of waiting more than 3 months (i.e 5 months or longer?) before having Mr. Stealership change my MDX's oil again? :nerd:
