yep km, not miles. and it looks black by then. Mobil 1 0W40 euro spec oil and pt cruiser turbo size filter.
This also gives me some margin, so if I am busy and miss by 1000km or I'm on a long trip, I'm still in the 5000 mile range.
These are turbos and everything is tight margins. We're not driving big v8's that drink oil between fill ups of gas like in the old days (adding half a quart of oil a week?!? insane!)... the oil gets hot and degrades. I could have it tested, but easier to just change regularly.
My c900's still get dinosaur 10w30 oil in summer and 5 in the winter. 3000km per change (max 3000 miles). I worry less about time - some of these cars sit for quite a while between drive cycles, so even if the miles are mostly highway, they rack up slowly... so sometimes they only get new oil + filter once/year... but it is never as gross as in the 9-5.
