Oil change question
We have some really knowledgable folks here, so I feel confident I will get a reasonable answer.
It could be any car, but in this case it is my wife's grocery getter, a 2000 Taurus with 27,400 miles on the clock (not driven all that much).
So, what is the most important factor in planning for oil changes when the elements are:
Mileage driven (less than 1,500 miles since August 1st)
Time between oil changes (generally I change the oil twice a year in her car
Type of driving(generally trips of less than five miles at a time, occasional day trips of 100 miles)
Type of oil(I use Valvoline blend, 10-30 in the Winter and 10-40 in the Summer; remember this is Arizona where 110 is not out of the question in July and August)
Advice? Recommendations?
