X5 for me on the oci's on Mobil 1.

I generally get to 5K miles within 3 months..If for some reason I do not get to 5K miles in 3 months I will change it out in 5 months no matter how little miles I put on..Makes me sleep better.

April fools I change over to Valvoline High Mileage 10W-30 semi-syth for the Summer and then sometime in November I change to the same brand 5W-30 for the Winter. I only put maybe 6000 miles a year.
