Need sone help, I'll go over my oil change miles
I kinda ran into something, think it's not a big deal. I got a call that my aunt is doing bad & in a hospital. I don't drive that much, so no deal in changing it. I'm like right now 70 miles over. Sorry my mind's not all here right now. It's about 200 miles round trip. Will being over say 300 OK? I use full synthetic & when I checked it about 4 days ago, it looked not bad.

This will be my 2nd oil change. Changing @ 5K miles. My computer readout says 0%. I didn't think it would matter, wasn't sure.
I changed it @ 5,011.9 the 1st time. I'm like @ 1,068 right now. Going to go back for sure again today. They took her off vent last night. Just depends on how long she hangs on. They thought she'd last prob :05 after they unplugged her.

Eli...if I am reading your question correctly, you change your oil every 5000 miles and use a full synthetic..if this is correct, you have no problems. Ford recommends 10000 miles changes on a synthetic blend. With your full synthetic, you can easily go to 7500 instead of the 5000 miles you are now changing the oil at. I have been using a full synthetic since 1978 (Mobil 1) and have never had a problem with running 7500 miles. Have a safe trip..and don't worry about the engine.

Car said to change oil @ 10,011 miles. I'm now @ 10,255.4. My aunt died so I have to drive about 220 miles to visitation & funeral? It would be fine to just wait to change when I get this over with, right? I'll see if my guy can fit it in. If he can't, no biggie? Since we don't have light under the hood, I'll check it tomorrow/color.
Oh yeah, & through all this I was averaging about 80+ MPH for that 210.9 miles, I got 24.2 MPG! That's just hard for me to believe it's getting this great. Kinda knowing adding this Shaker picked me up about 2 MPG. Sweet cause faster I go, better I get!
