i doubt it. A friend only changed the oil every 25K miles. The trick to it is to change the oil filter every 3K miles and add a fresh quart of oil. That keeps the additives fresh in the oil and it will protect the engine. He had a S-10 Chevy truck with over 220K miles and it still sounded like a new engine, you could barely hear it run. good luckHow long at maximum can Mobil 1 synthetic oil be used?
The issue is not the synthectic oil, but actually the filter. The oil captures the sediments and fine particals and other impurities. The filter does just as the name implies. The oil will not break down or fail to do its job. The filter on the other hand may clog .. you get the drift. Check the rating on your filter.
It isn't the oil you should worry about so much, but rather the filter...if a filter gets filled up with junk, it tends to starve the engine for lubrication...
I'm a dinosaur anyway, so I believe in changing oil and filter every three or four thousand always, regardless of whether it is synthetic or not...
But how do you drive your car depends more.
