Out of Warranty oil change intervals

[2ndAmend]

Did you end up going with the PowerStop rotors and brakes?

You may want to consider why they use Brembos in the first place. I'll tell you, it is because if a fast car has difficulty stopping, it will lead to HUGE law suits. I keep the OEM's on the RE because I do some racing. I keep them on the M6, just because, why not.

As long as you get the oil up to operating temperature before putting the car away, nothing bad will happen to the oil sitting in the pan. Frequent short trips cause condensation and can shorten oil life.

It's funny that it's called "shortened OIL life" and not called "shortened ENGINE life"!

Short oil change intervals or an occasional 30 minute drive can compensate for short trip condensation. I think oiled cotton gauze air filters that most of us run do more to shorten engine life. Then again, most Hellcat owners aren’t looking to get 100,000+ miles out of their motors.

Half way there...

Warranty? Okay, I didn't void it by doing the first change at about 500 miles, but after that...

Normally I do the change in the late fall, then it's ready to go in the spring. Except for the year I forgot and both ended up with exactly two years on the oil. Sent samples to a good lab, then had a very knowledgeable person analyze the results.

Both cars had about 500 miles on them in those two years, and the PUP passed with flying colors. Good for at least another 3,000 miles I was told.

But, they're never short tripped or, gulp, cold started to impress people. Instead they're generally driven at least 150 miles once started. That does make a difference.

Blackstone says run oil to at least 5,500 miles even if it takes over a year. Not sure I can do more than a year without the urge to change.

I hear tell they also advocate wearing the same underwear 5 days in a row before changing...
