If the engine is not that new, i guess it of to use mineral oil, and changing it every 5000km. Its not good just depending on months, because some people run more in a month, compare to others. Just stick to the millage will be better.

They run more than a month because they are sticking to the 5K rule and neglect the 3 month rule at the same time:)

Best is still 5K or 3 months whichever comes first. But if one feels that he/she needs to follow the mileage rule, its up to them, its their car biggrin.gif

I thought if your car is old, its best to use mineral as it provides better protection to the engine internals? For me, I am using fully synthetic in my Wira, as long no problems like leaking and etc, its fine smile.gif
