And finally after how many kms should I change the oil, when using regular t4 and when using semi synthetic.
-
Lots of variables there. I'd say pulling those loads 20k miles on dino oil, 40k on synthetic.
Synthetics definitely have advantages. May or may not be worth it. If I went synthetic, I wouldn't use a blendBean Jr. Thanks this. -
I'm Driving a 2012 isx.
Delo400 non synthetic is what it likes.
Motor is quiet and oil consumption is the least. It currently has a leak. Delo slows it down considerably.
Another company I see occasionally. Uses Rotella. Their motors aren't very quiet.
Don't even think about using mobil. The motor will sound like a tank ready to blow up. -
Everyone uses different oils.
Got a 2010 isx and sold a 2013 isx with 960k miles, used rotella with a gallon of Lucas it’s entire life, nonsytheticBean Jr. Thanks this. -
