So normal commuting mileage would you go 10,000 or 15,000 miles on the changes ??
If you were going 10K then bumping up to 15K would be no problem. If you wanted to try going any further I would suggest doing some oil analysis - pull a sample at 15K and have it tested for condition and wear metals. If it looks good go to 18K (for mostly city & idle) or 20K (highway) and pull another sample. keep it going till te analysis tells you to stop the insanity. I did this with my Volvo and got to 40+K before the test results told me to change. When I had Castrol in it it would only go to about 6K. Let me know if you would like some test kits. I might need some $$ - they go for $10/ea our cost (list is $18 to $25).
