Oil change intervals with synthetic oil
Synthetic oils withstand higher temperatures before breaking down, and have more base stock and less viscosity modifiers. Synthetics wear out, become acidic, and eventually become saturated with suspended soot particles, just like regular oil. Again, an oil analysis is a good investment to determine the optimum oil change interval. Never exceed the manufacturer requirements for normal service.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

but some synthetic oil suppliers suggest that the intervals between oil changes can be longer, sometimes as long as 16,000-24,000 km (10,000–15,000 mi) primarily due to reduced degradation by oxidation.
From wiki

It’s our most advanced full synthetic formulation and offers outstanding all-around protection that outperforms our conventional oils, synthetic blends, and regular full-synthetic motor oils.

to prevent ppl misunderstood.

you should follow CAR MANUFACTURER recommendation. Why? because you should claim warranty of your ferrari with Ferrari, not Petronas.

lol.

malaysia boleh !!!!!!

single article written by university or true oil specialist or professional motor magazine saying Synthetic can have longer oil change interval

hahhahahahahah,

so when your car break down you claim warranty with "university or true oil specialist or professional motor magazine" ???

if you have a car, call service center.

if you have a motorbike, call service center.

if you have a bicycle, call bicycle maker/facebook.

The Key here is Follow Car Manufacturer recommendation, not university, oil specialist, motor magazine, lowyat net oil seller, lowyat net forummer.


Malaysia BOLEH~!!!!!!!!

if you can read english.

With synthetic oil, most Toyota models can extend their oil change interval from 5000 miles to 10,000 miles. You’ll save money with fewer oil changes.

If you can understand english.

one can read, but might not understand.

examples are shown, from TOyota, to mobil1 to even car enthusiast website and the easiest, WIKIPEDIA!!

some choose to ignore.

Synthetic oil can also let you drive more miles between oil changes. AMSOIL's Signature Series 0W-30 synthetic oil has a service interval of 35,000 miles, or one year for non-severe driving. This longer interval can help offset the higher cost of synthetic oil.

Read this, PERIOD PERIOD PERIOD

What are the advantages of using synthetic engine oils?
Synthetic engine oils are able to:

Operate at much higher temperatures for longer
Resist oxidation better than mineral oils leading to less wear and longer engine life
Be used for longer or extended drain intervals

ok, use what ever you wish, this is malaysia. ppl say cooking oil can pour into engine. Malaysia Boleh!!!
