Hey, I just came to a situation where I have to do my oil change. My wrench is on and it's been 6 month already and I drove 12000 kms. Just waiting for service in Edmonton and it will be another 2 weeks and I will put another 500 km during these weeks + 600 km to Edmonton. Has anyone went over 12000 km on 1 oilchange? I use Mobil 1 oil filter and motomaster oil.
You are fine, as 12,000km is 7,500 miles. That is the standard oil change interval here in the States. A few hundred km over isn't going to hurt anything.
Especially with a quality motor oil. Some oils claim change intervals twice as long.Quote:

It comes to 13500 km when I will have my oil change, and 7 months .... Hope nothing will happen to the warranty. Thanks :)Quote:

I think you will be fine. My 96 Metro goes 10,000 miles between changes on full synthetic.
