I'll be running synthetic in both of my cars next summer, but the DD's getting some soon, in basic auto next week.


I'll change the oil every 6k miles or so, but I'll do the Ac Delco filter every 3 k... Just cause, I'm anal about that.

Moms car can fit a PF52 in it, without any issues... about 2X the filter. I'll just change the oil and filter every 5k miles...


10k is running on the edge for a synthetic, but it's past the limit for a filter imho. You loose about a quart of oil when you change the filter only (it goes back down into the pan, it wont drain alot out except the filter)

I'd at LEAST change the filter every 5k, and dont use no fram crap on it. Use ANY better brand then fram, do NOT use fram

good luck with your car, is a 94 mercedes considered a beater yet? I'd only run oil that long on a cheaper car, but W/E
