[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 793827, member: 52972"] It's a carry over from the old days when they did not have the additives and quality filters that they do today. Actually most manufacturers only require oil changes every 6K-7.5K miles, but people continue their old habits. The old excuse was that those higher mileages only applied for normal driving conditions, and that most people were heavy duty users ??? My new MB comes from the factory with Mobil-1 synthetic oil and they stipulate 1 year or 10K mile between oil changes...That's all If Mecedes says that Mobil one is good for 10K miles then it should be good for 10K miles in any car. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
