- Is high-mileage oil worth it over regular 5W-30?
- If your engine uses oil, seeps at the seals, or has passed about 75,000 miles, the seal conditioners and stronger additive package are worth it. On a tight, low-mileage engine, a standard synthetic does the same job.
- Can I use this in any car that takes 5W-30?
- Yes, as long as your owner's manual specifies 5W-30 and the bottle carries the approvals your engine needs. Do not use it where the manual calls for a different grade.
- How many oil changes does a six-quart case cover?
- Most four-cylinder and V6 cars take four to six quarts, so one case covers a single change with some left over. Trucks and larger engines may need more than six quarts.
- Will it stop an existing oil leak?
- Seal conditioners can soften and swell dried seals, which slows minor seeps. They will not fix a torn gasket, a cracked pan or a worn bearing, so a real leak still needs repair.
- Can I mix it with the oil already in the engine?
- Topping off with a small amount of this oil is fine. For a full change, drain the old oil first rather than blending two different formulas.
- How often should I change full synthetic 5W-30?
- Follow the interval in your owner's manual, which is often 7,500 to 10,000 miles for full synthetic. Short trips, towing and dusty conditions call for shorter intervals.
