kluthage421 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Just wanted to say it has been 8400 miles since my last oil change in my 2000 ES and no problems at all. I always clean it out with sea foam for 250 miles before an oil change with AMSoil and regularly push the car to high rpms. She does 140mph just fine ~80) 103k on her now and running smoothly. The entire throttle body has been cleaned, sea foam in the PCV valve, brake booster hose and gas tank regularly. I am going to change the oil today to see how everything looks. Didn't mean for it to go this long. I might open the crank case to check out everything. Good week to all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

branshew Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Given the known sludge issue with that engine, why would you run it at longer than recommended OCIs? Even with a full syn regimen, I wouldn't take the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
