How many miles can I drive before another oil change?

If my last oil change was by Mobil synthetic oil?

The mechanic said 5,000 miles, is this accurate?How many miles can I drive before another oil change?
Synthetic is good for 7500 miles depending on a LOT of factors.



Do your car a favor and change your oil every 3k if you do a lot of city driving (stop and start), and every 5k if you do mostly a mix of city and highway. Try not to go past 5k even with synthetic.
Absolutly not period, 5,000 mile is based on perfect conditions period. Do you rebuild your engine every 500 miles ? Well then now where getting somewhere. Now, we all live in whats called severe conditions, and that is in effect everywhere you have cold down to 30 degrees, and heat as high as 85-90 summer. How many miles are on your un-rebuilt engine? Any enthusiest knows, we all change our oil synthetic every 2500 miles, varnish, carbon, gunk is in the oil after 2,000 miles, do we want that in our engines until 5,000, omg no. I change the filter alone at 1500 miles. then at 2500-3000 i change the synthetic oil. And I raise the viscosity from 5w20 to 0w30 no in the winter time, and now 5w30 summer, why, piston ring wear, we all know it exists.How many miles can I drive before another oil change?
Go by whatever your owner's manual recommends for oil-change interval. Sometimes mechanics (and even dealer's shops) will tell you to get an oil change much sooner than is actually necessary just to make some extra money - other times they are honest. It's almost always better/safer just to follow the manufacturers recommendation via the owner's manual on oil changes.
Full synthetics will wreak havoc on older engines, btw. You can go 5,000 on one oil change. 3,000 is just to get you to buy more oil and pay for more changes. Just don't buy bottom of the line oil and your fine for 5k.How many miles can I drive before another oil change?
Yes. Synthetic lasts longer than regular oil. Some even say 7500 on synthetic oil, especially in newer cars.
Read it for yourself.
