oil change interval S80

posted by  someone claiming to be AJ on  Sun Apr 18 14:15 CST 2004 [RELATED]

My wife is driving much less now that she is a stay at home mom. She used to rack up 5000 every 4 months now she has put on 3500 in 7 months. I usually change the oil at 5000 miles with mobil 1. What do you folks recommend for a oil change interval with such low miles being driven?

    AJ,
    I have a 2000 S80 T6 using Mobil 1 (I worked for Mobil for 29 years in the lubes business). I changed the oil at 7500 miles during the warrenty period. Now that I have 55,000 miles, I change oil and filter every 10,000 miles or about every 10 months at my current rate of about 1000 miles per month. My recommendation to you would be to change oil and filter at 7500 or 15 months at your current 500 miles per month rate.
    Walt
