yes. Synthetic oils can go 5000 or more miles. THey don't break down as fast as regular oils. Worth the money. Flows better in winter and protects against higher heat in the summer

In a tight clean burning enguine most any oil should last for about 5,000 miles with no problems. Synthetic oil costs about $7 a quart & you don't need it.
I use Castoral G.T.X. or Shell Rotella. They hold up very well in any hard working enguine. If it's a old $500 clunker then any 99 cent quart oil will be fine. Just get the 50 weight.

synthetic is man made and most everything elese is from ground-yes mobil 1 can last 5000 miles easily they have some mobil1 they say can go 12000. here at firestone we use a "Synthetic blend" made by kendall that has the best of both kinds of oil .we do not even offer regular oil anymore just blend or full synthetic -hope this helps

Yes......and I've seen a used oil analysis on a car..... where the guy used pennzoil conventional for over 12,000 miles.... did absolutely perfect, low wear and of course... no sludge.
Any synthetic can go long distances... and todays conventional's can...., but it depends on the engine! I'd suggest finding a place that analyzes used oil (say like blackstone, etc) to find out just how far you can go....
But yes... mobil one can go 5000 easy...

yes! mobil one is one of the greatest synthetic oil i ever used. basically, synthetic oils are more expensive than any ordinary engine oil. secondly, synthetic oil has a higher viscosity that lessen the wear of internal engine components. lastly, it's made of high grade & uses the finest raw materials.

depending on use, they can go to 7500 miles. stop and go, short trips take the life out of engine oil, even synthetics.
