Hello, while searching for syntetic lubricants for an oil change, I came across WOLF LUBRICANTS

Ive been reading good comments from european consumers, but I wonder If anyone here has any experience witht his brand.

This isnt a direct answer to your question, but I'm not all that convinced any modern synthetic oil is much different than another. Sure there are slight differences, but I think Mobil 1 vs Pennzoil, so and so forth, the difference is minute, and over the lifepsan of the average car (heck, even 300k) I don't think any modern synthetic oil will do you a disservice. Just my opinion, since all the syns seem pretty good these days.

What I thikn is far, far more important is somethign like a 3k OCI I would be much more confident using any synthetic and changing it every 3k vs a longer interval with a higher dollar "better" oil. YMMV but this is JMO!

I guess a 25,000 mile (normal service) or 15,000 mile (severe service) oil change interval is out of the question for you. LOL

Dunno just me personally, but I think the OCI is far more importsnt than the specific oil of choice. Especially with turbos etc etc all the extra stress and tight passages... why are they makingn OCIs longer??? At least the old engines arent as tight tolerances haha

How many will use those super long intervals without changing the oil filter? Regardless of quality, most oil filters should be replaced by 7500 miles.

@CDW6212R mentioned a simple but important fact that many don't consider. Most, if not all contaminants in the engine oil are getting by the AIR filter. Makes perfect sense to me.

The proof is found by doing a Used oil analysis (UOA), particularly the wear metals in it. Practically all comparisons I've seen, show very little difference between one oil brand and another, assuming the oils are a major brand that meets modern specifications, except that in severe duty, high temperature situations, the synthetic oil takes longer to break down.

Similarly a typical UOA usually shows little benefit to changing oil sooner than 5K mi, unless again, there is a severe duty high temperature that cooks the oil. Beyond 5K mi, I would get a UOA done to see whether the oil is holding up to your preferred longer interval, but if it isn't holding up, then you have already caused some wear.

I try to change the air filter before it goes over 10k miles, but I know I miss that sometimes. My last two 302's have been neglected before I bought them, they both consume a lot of oil. The oil is always black regardless of age of the oil or filter(s). I'm sure these two engines are terrible to test with a UOA, because the rings and/or valve seals are long ago bad.

So running any oil for a long interval is very bad if the engine is already in poor condition. If the engine is really sound and doesn't consume much oil, then it can be worth considering extending the intervals some. I look forward to installing new engines in my projects sometime soon, and then using extended interval oils and filters. I'd love to only have to change the fluids and filters once per year, in the Spring.
