I thought it was "enthralled".... 200 '86

posted by  someone claiming to be Paul Seminara on  Tue Nov 6 15:59 CST 2001 [RELATED]

But to answer your question I change the oil in the 245 turbo at 10,000 mile intervals. The oil is still good, per lab analyis, but I sample as I dump and heck....I like to try different Amsoil motor oils. I won't go gettin' technical on you but turbos are REALLY hard on oil. The nitrates are begining to elevate at 10,000 miles but again all the dirt and wear indicators are very low.

I use 5W-30 in the 855 non-turbo, and the oil is essentially like new at 10,000 miles.

Amsoil Series 2000 0W-30 recommended change interval? 35,000 miles or 1 year. The oil lasts a LONG time, Mann or other good quality filters should be changed at normal oil change intervals. Amsoil oil filters (which are far superior to Mann), should be changed at 6 month or 12,500 mile intervals.
