Hey folks, it's been a while since I've been on this site. I miss looking in awe over all the cool stuff you guys do to your Explorers. I have an '04 V6.
Anyway, after reading this forum a while back I decided to start using fully synthetic engine oil because of all the benefits people speak of. Reading people's opinions, they talked about putting many thousands of miles on the engine without replacing it, someone even mentioned just replacing it once a year.
So I had my oil changed to fully synthetic in May of this past year, and now in December I just hit 9000 miles with it. I can either change it out this winter break (at a little less than 10,000) or wait until spring/summer (assuming maybe another 2,000 added to it... I don't do much driving while I'm at school). Am I pushing it if I wait? Have I already pushed it?
Thanks for any comments you have.
