Mobile One (Need Some Advice)
For those of you who are using Mobile One (or have used it).
Was wondering how often do you change out your oil. Since it is a Full Synth. Im assuming more than 5K? I own a 2011 V6 |

You could just go by what the owners manual says, using the car's oil life system. With any GM approved oil, using the oil life system would no doubt go alot more than 5k between oil changes. But like alot of people here, we are just particular with our cars. Changing the oil more often can only help. Plus if you do it yourself it's kind of fun. Spend some quality one on one time with your car. I use Mobil 1 and change it between 4k and 5k. Im just picky.

The V6 has a history of stretching cam chains.
If it were mine, I would use full synthetic and still change every 5,000 miles I tend to over maintain things though |

Why push the limits?
Relatively speaking, oil changes are cheap. |
